Wowza! Are you excited about what God is doing all over the world. You only have to cruise the websites to find story after story of fresh miracles, signs and wonders invading the earth. Rick Joyner, Morningstar in his weekly bulletin says...
I have been receiving communications from around the United States and Europe that are all reporting the same thing—they are seeing healings and miracles on a level like they have never seen before. This is a time of a great visitation of God to His people. Even so, I remain convinced that what we are now experiencing is a birth pang, a spiritual contraction that is preparing us for the birth of an even greater move of God...
When you think about all the healings and miracles that are now taking place -and there are now too many to document, it is amazing to think this is just the beginning. Rick is predicting another big shift around September time. Rick is a trusted voice not given to exaggeration or hype. So this is encouraging! What that will look like we do not know. Whatever happens God is coming in power and it is not going away.
Still we are more convinced than ever that the wild fire Martin Scott prophesied about (which is now beginning to spread) is essential to see this break out beyond the box and control systems of church as we have know it. Some of this present move with Lakeland is turning into clones and domesticated four walls religion here in the UK. Sticking the word "Outpouring" on meetings doesn't mean it's really breaking out like Lakeland. Lakeland is unique. We must all be careful not to hype up and not to water down what God is doing to a lower level by copying and trying to make things happen. An outpouring is not a nice meeting where a few healings take place - come on! That's why I like the Morningstar "Breakout" - it's wild free, and God is moving through the congregation not just the front people...
...a trend I have observed is that many of the great miracles take place and no one, including the person who received the healing or miracle, knows who prayed for them. I love this because Jesus receives the glory and the people's faith grows in Jesus rather than in those praying for them
But the good news is this is also happening here in the UK where that control devil is not stopping the people flow. The wild fire is here and coming.
In Sheffield with the Pioneer guys (we love you Baz and Lyn!) we saw nothing short of an explosion during the Saturday night as Dave was sharing. Four woman at the back of the room started shaking violently as the angels came into the room. This intensified and before long the whole place was buzzing and the thing just blew up. We hope to post footage online as soon as possible for you to see what happened. It was glory invasion. God coming and taking over.
England is ripe guys. If there is anywhere in the nations right now we have our eyes on it's England. Across the nation they are embracing the flame and many new connections, wild fire groups, drinking holes are popping up. Each one is unique but marked by visitation, glory and intoxication. God is moving and He has every intention of staying.
I know some religious people hoped the crazy stuff would go away and we would return to boring formal controlled Christianity again. I'm afraid that isn't going to happen! Christianity is being radically changed in this generation just like the Lord told Mike Bickle years ago. He said audibly to him in a hotel room in Egypt something along these lines "In one generation I am going to radically change the face and expression of Christianity and it will never be irrelevant again!". God told Paul Cain around that time that He was going to fill the church with power, purity and unity. Bob Jones says this decade is the decade of the return of the glory to the church. He even goes as far as to say some will carry a literal visible presence of God on them. And we believe it! It's biblical! This is a greater covenant and each generation should walk in the promise.
One of the most exciting times over the last three days in Sheffield was on the streets. Dave and Phil prayed for a guy in a wheelchair. This is what Dave said in an email to a friend...
Things are getting pretty wild here, pulled a cripple out of a wheelchair on the streets on Saturday, he hadn't walked for years, his friends who were with him had never seen him walk and were blasted man it was crazy stuff!!
I saw it happen and it was amazing! At first the guy was so shaky and wobbly. I wanted to look away! But they prayed for him again and then virtue (strength and power) clearly came into him and suddenly BAM! he was walking normally! It was brilliant! One guys watching nearby selling razor blades on a box said "I've never seen anything like it!" We got a word of knowledge for him that he's split from his wife. We prayed for him as well. Two people got saved. Another woman with only a few months to live felt the fire of God burn through her body. We believe she is healed but only time will tell. We also got to pray for several Moslems on the streets. It was a landmark time! Cripples walk the streets of Sheffield today!!!
In the meetings the same thing was happening. A girl without arches in her feet had a creative miracle and her feet changed. A young lad had his broken toe healed. Others reported being touched. Some were crying. Others laughing. Some didn't sober up all weekend. Many were shacking. The words of knowledge flowed and several people responded. The angles showed up and you could feel the presence of God moving in the room like a wind. One couple reported gold flakes appearing in the kitchen. But one thing that is certain we have as a nation crossed over. England is ready to burn coast to coast. It is only a matter of time.
There's probably a lot more we could say but that gives you a taste of what is going on. We are so thankful to be seeing this. Our sincere belief is that we haven't seen anything yet. God spoke to me three weeks ago and said that this present move will be known for signs in the heaven and on the earth. He said that some of these signs would be so profound that even skeptics would be shut up. I saw a vision of people shaking with fear. God means business!
Hopefully we'll send out more news soon. We met in Cardiff 5 times in the last two week and a load of stuff happened. It's cooking! So keep an eye open for future gatherings. In the coming months the Emerge team will be in Stockton, Scotland, Portsmouth and other places around the UK. If you're reading this in America we will be over in September (God willing) and travelling around various States. Get ready USA for the wild fire! If you want us to come to your region of the UK get in touch. We have a green for go for the UK! Very soon there will be a marked and significant manifestation of the glory.
I'll end with this cool story from Rick Joyner from this week.. Glory!...
It is still amazing for us to watch our high school students pray for the handicapped, blind, deaf, or those with fatal diseases, believing God will heal them, and often He does. A few nights ago, I saw a commotion in the back of the room and found out that a couple of our high school girls had prayed for a young man in a wheelchair, who immediately got up and walked. He had multiple sclerosis and had not walked in seven years. It was not long before he was back in the wheelchair, not because the affliction had come back, but because he was so worn out from not using those muscles for so long. As we talked to the girls who had prayed for him, they were excited, but not overly so, because they are now expecting the Lord to do this kind of thing when they pray. There really is a new generation rising up that the supernatural will be natural to them.
Supernatural generation arise! Take it and burn!
Blessings, Emerge team
Welsh fire hits Brazil - May'08
Seems to be new stories of visitations and breakouts all the time. Have you watched the footage from Morningstar? Wow God is really moving there. We've also heard that Jim Drown has hosted some meetings in Atlanta and 2,800 people showed up. They are now doing continued meetings. Here's an update from a friend who is there right now...
I just wanted to send you a quick note and let you know about the meetings with Jim that have been going on. The venue holds about 2800 and on the first night, the placed was packed with over 500 in the parking lot watching on a big screen. Jim was blown away. Rob Deluca has come up to be with us from Lakeland. He was the one who prophesized that revival would happen through Todd. You have probably heard him speak. He is amazing. Anyhow, Jim did great and it is obvious that God has anointed him for this. The response was so great that we met with a bunch of pastors yesterday and are going to a bigger venue tonight through Monday night
Keith Miller is seeing a breakout in Dallas which is ongoing. Come on! But what about here? God is brooding looking to land! A friend from Northern England sent me this text last night...
"Dude things are really really kicking off here! There has been a massive breakout with the students. It's totally awesome! There is a meeting tomorrow night. There has been healings, deliverance and gold dust. Some guys got spontaneously baptised in a lake and 40 students showed up to see it! It's exploding man. There have been spontaneous meetings of 20 to 30 people pressing in for the glory. We're going on the streets Wed."
Yeah England! Times are changing! Are we keeping step with the Holy Spirit? Dave sent a word out this week on hosting the presence of God. It is time to lay aside preferences and contentions and say "On earth as it is in heaven!". Whether it's in a home or gatherings God's glory is going to abide.
Here's some encouraging stories from some guys who came to SloshFest from Brazil. They had a Holy Ghost breakout after going home! BAM!!! Hope it makes you hungry! We want MORE! Blessings, Emerge.
Hi emerge guys,
Thanks for a great slosh fest, we really enjoyed our time there. Having arrived back in Brazil and not really knowing why God had brought us to slosh fest. Leaving a little discouraged, feeling a little disconnected from what God was doing, but believing that God had brought us there for a reason, and that this stuff was also for us.
Sarah and I have been connecting with the youth here in a church in Brasilia. They have been meeting together every Saturday to pray and read the bible, but the youth were very discouraged, and bored really with church and religion.
We felt that we should go last Saturday and show some videos from Rick Joyner's church and also some from emerge Wales, and to share about our experiences and what God is doing in the church globally, believing for a manifestation of glory. We showed the video's and then got everyone together to seek God, about 15 people.
well.... what happened next, shocked us as much as everyone else. we were not expecting anything like this!!!
The meeting continued for hours, a heavy drunken glory descended on the place with manifestations galore.
God dust appeared on one guy's hands.
A girl was prayed for healing in her eyes, and threw her contact lenses out of the window. She felt fire in her eyes and is believing in faith for her complete healing.
Another girl was struggling with believing what was happening, but said to God 'I don't understand this, but do it anyway' (or similar). She found it hard to believe God was not a serious God. The next thing that happened, she saw an angel on her both sides, whacking their legs fast, a game which she had always loved to do, so she joined in with them!
angels were showing up, and people completely drunk, crazy dancing, laughter, joy everywhere! the youth are saying that they have never experienced anything like this before, and they will not accept anything less than this again, they want this every day.
The next day their main church met for a Sunday meeting, which is quite structured. The girl who had the contact lenses was sharing her testimony, that God had told her to throw her lenses out of the window, she had doubted before but this time knew it was God, that he was speaking to her about faith. She said to church that this life is not just for one day but it going to be normal and is available for everyone there!! As she was speaking to the church, one of the others who was in the youth meeting starts laughing uncontrollably in the middle of the church!!
This same woman later testified that her son (he was also there the night before) woke up on the Sunday morning
and he could not wait for the next meeting, so he could worship God.
one person said after the meeting that they had always thought that God could never use them to pray for someone and for the power of God to come upon them, she was shocked as she saw exactly this happen.
The youth are now phoning to say that they want to meet up in the week as they are desperate to pray! we will be meeting every Saturday evening now to press in... come on glory!
Andy and Sarah

Holy Ghost Breakout in Llanelli - May '08
Hundreds gathered in Llanelli these last few days for Sloshfest '08. All we can say is that it was a Holy Spirit breakout. A trance like realm and intoxication was released that just took over the meetings. During worship on Friday night it exploded and the Spirit of revival fell. Many were laughing and crying all at the same time. Some who'd been to Lakeland said they again felt that special presence again. Some received a baptism of love. God released several spontaneous songs. One of them was that we can handle Him. What He is going to do is out of our control and we can't handle it. John Crowder called it a historic night. Georgian and Winnie Banov were supposed to minister but stepped back. Here's how Dave Vaughan explained it to a friend in the States...
"Man it was crazy, there was such expectation from the people, more than I have ever felt. There were probably about 600 or more there, it was wild. The revival spirit came in on the Friday night so strong that Georgian wasn't needed to preach, and Winnie said that what was happening was beyond her and that we needed to run with this!! It was like a Trance like Glory, hundreds were swaying in it like a flock of birds, they were all trancing out and having visions, people started to get spontaneously healed in the Glory, it was amazing!
I personally have been in a lot of crazy stuff - we spent five months in Toronto during the revival there in 1997 - but this was another realm. Having surfed the net we found what Morningstar are experiencing right now sounds very similar. Listen to this blog from Leonard Jones on MySpace...
One interesting thing that's been happening at our nightly meetings is people are getting some dramatic healings but they're not sure who it was that prayed for them because the whole crowd is moving around kind of like a mosh-pit in slow motion, praying for anything that moves. You can hardly tell who's leading worship or who's singing what and yet there's this amazing congruity to everything and God is a wrecking ball in this place. Time to get wrecked!
If you know Morningstar this is VERY unusual. They are an awesome group of guys but the meetings are usually very well ordered. This is a Holy Spirit breakout! It sounds just like what we're seeing here. People moving together praying for each other getting wrecked. Healings and miracles just happening in the atmosphere.
There can be no doubt that the revival Spirit is now moving in the land. We are seeing so many people get wrecked - even those who haven't felt God before. The healings are continuing. Here's an update from the Antioch guys - they are hosting healing clinics this week in Llanelli..
I was doing an art workshop in Llanelli and asked one of the women, Cheryl, who uses a motorised scooter if I could pray for her. She has wasting muscles at the back of her knee and it was pointy, Prayed by putting my hand on the back of her knee where the pain was. She felt fire go through to the front of her knee, her knee cap moved. She got up and moved around and it felt better. Prayed for her again and she said it felt weird, then she said that it felt like something was being stretched in her knee. She rolled up her jeans and her knees looked exactly the same - the muscle had grown back and the knee cap had moved into place! She got up, no pain! She was in shock and felt bad because she hadn't talked to God in years!
If you need healing in your body come to Antioch or Cardiff tonight. There are meetings taking place in both locations right now.
Here's what one woman from England said about what is going on here in Wales...
OH MY GOD!!!! You broke ALL the rules!! HOW many crimes against religion did you guys commit?!! HA HA HA!! That was THE BEST EVENT EVEEEERRRRRRRRR!!!!! I have always wanted to go to a Holy Spirit party and do trance dancing!! I have pages of cool words and visions! they were not huge,panoramic out of body things yet but I experienced things that I haven't before. They would seem quite minor compared to those of Todd Bentley and others but I am on the road to them! I danced with Jesus for the first time ever, I saw angels with trumpets, I saw a bottle being poured out for me to drink (and I did! I didn't get totally wasted but it was a bit. People asked if I was OK because when they asked me a question I just sat there and slowly tried to speak! And I just sat and stared at my jeweled arm thing for ages because it was sparkly!!) I think an angel poked me and healed me but I have to wait and see. I saw Jesus at the front of the church on Sunday morning (in my head, not with my physical eyes.) I saw a beautiful female angel step out of the clouds (in my head ) and I saw God wearing a beautiful jeweled crown and He took it off and it turned into a chalice! (again, in my head)
and again another email just come in...
Hey Justin, and Emerge Wales team :D We arrived back in the North East of England ( Stockton on Tees ) at 6 am this morning. We went to church to impart what we received and it's been an awesome experience. The Holy Spirit is hitting people all over the place. One woman doesn't usually come on a Sunday and she came and was baptized in the Holy Spirit. It was class... she kept saying.." wwoooooo what's happening to me... wwooooo " Totally cool. Our Leaders are hungry too. They're making space for God to come and do his thang!!! People are being healed of deep emotional pain and abuse. God is Working here too. On Saturday evening you mentioned that it was no longer the breaker angel, its already broken out. Well we took that and believed it in at out church. We needed that for so long and tonight, to have our leadership humble themselves before the King and allow him in is awesome. The sweet sweet Jesus was loving people up all over the place. AWwwwwww Yeah! It is a love revolution. Bless you all so very verrrry much. I have never experienced Jesus so intimately before. I saw visions of places, I played in the glory like a 4 year old. Wow, it felt so liberating and beyond free. I have Jesus running through my veins and it feels ggrrrreeeeeeaaaaaattttttttt ...xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx love you guys all so much.
This wild fire is for the whole nation - England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Bob Jones said when the four natinos coming together healing would be released across the land. At Sloshfest the four nations stood together for this to take place. This is a nation united in the glory and fires of revival. We are going to find our true apostolic identity as a nation again. Europe is going to burn as this fire intensifies and a new breed of glory carriers are sent wild wandering through the nations.
Last night in Cardiff a prophetic glory came and Natasha Vaughan a fifteen year old from Pontypool took over the meeting. Tash operated in words of knowledge and the Holy Spirit just wrecked people. Afterwards someone pointed out it was significant because it was a fifteen year old girl who brought revival into Cardiff in 1904. History being continued right here and now! Tash was even prophesying over the phone hours after the meeting.
If you've been watching Lakeland Todd and Bob has both prophesied that the Welsh revival is being released now. There can be no doubt at all by any measure this is NOW taking place. Jeff Jansen said it is here. He heard the Lord say it would be called the NEW Welsh Revival. He had a visit from an angel at 3:41 in the morning - this is the number God uses when He is saying to Jeff it is a blank cheque - ask and it shall be given.
Here's an email from an emerge subscriber in the States...
"My spirit was doing somersaults last night when I heard Todd Bentley make the "proclamation" of the WELSH REVIVAL!! If you were able to see the Lakeland Outpouring last night, you probably noticed how the LORD kept hammering on "proclaim a thing and it shall be established". What an absolutely PURRFECT time for your meeting!! Though I am not able to be with you, you can be sure this long lost cousin is praying for WALES here in Atkinson, Illinois. May Winds of Change set aflame the hearts of the people. As I was praying for Wales this morning, I saw thousands of sheep making their way down craggy mountainsides and heading towards their True Shepherd. When they were safely within the confines of the True Sheepfold, the True Shepherd poured oil all down their backs. This oil killed all parasites and diseases and also served as a repellent from predators who had plagued their lives. I pray that God will raise up Honest and True Shepherds in Wales and all over the world who "count the sheep" and will not feed the sheep muddied water but pure, rivers of living water from the very throne of God. May God multiply His anointing upon you as you heal the sick, raise the dead and set the captives free! I read that God had told Denny Cline from Albany Oregon that this revival in his church would have ten times the impact than the one he had a few years back that lasted 3 years. I pray for you, that you will experience 10 times the power of the anointing on the 1904 Welsh Revival with Evan Roberts. That it will shut down entire cities and regions as the Fires of revival hit every inch of Wales, even spilling over into all the Celtic countries. I pray that Wales will be the first ENTIRE country taken for the Glory of Our wonderful LORD and Savior Jesus Christ!!! From the North to the South, and From the East to the West of Wales....I claim every square inch of it for His Abode!!! Stand strong and see what the LORD is going to do!!
This is a highly contagious glory intoxication and it is spreading. Many came from around the UK and have taken it back to their churches. Gold dust, oil, signs and wonders will become the norm as we remain in His presence. If we honour the Dove He will continue to honour us. It is HIS revival, HIS breakthrough, HIS wild fire.
Whacked up in the Wirral - Fresh stories from England! Justin Abraham
April 21, 2008
Lotta glory! He he!
There's a lot of glory! Seems to be all kicking off these days on so many fronts. We've had over a month of constant deluge of glory. When He comes, stuff just happens. In the glory there is ease! His thick, sticky honey cloud is rolling in and becoming unrelenting. Eventually it will be absolutely uncontainable. We are already seeing people get whacked by just being around us. Just this weekend an atheist got totally zapped on the streets as the Holy Ghost literally jumped on the guy in the high street! He shook and cried and had no idea what was happening! He gave his heart to the Lord in no time at all! He he! Imagine a whole generation walking in a Cloud. That is what is rising.
England's DAY has arrived!
The clock is ticking for England's hour. Martin Scott said the wild fire would come out of Wales and impact England. This is exactly what is taking place. England is rising fast. Even these recent meetings in Florida prophetic words have been given that England is on the horizon. One awesome intercessor emailed us this week from the USA to say
the entire uk.. God is going to explode in waves of glory.. and love.. and presence.. and intimacy.. and revelation.. everything that is happening in lakeland is only a TASTE of what is unfolding EVEN NOW in your midst.. look up.. look up.. look up..
Another young prophetic voice from Ireland emailed this...
I read the prophetic word Todd received from the pastor in New Zealand today..... England is mentioned! Reminded of a dream I received 3-4 years ago since hearing about what's happening in Florida now. Basically in the dream Todd was ministering in England and general media were reporting. From a newspaper report they kept referencing to the joy and Todd praying for "laughing implants" for people! England get ready!
He he! Laughing implants - love it!! We're coming into joy inexpressible and full of glory!!!
Has England ever been more hungry? It seems people are popping out of the caves all over and coming into a new realm of fresh encounters and glory again, and never being the same. Some are drunk for days and even months. The fruit is amazing. We have so many recent stories it's hard to know where to start. Jesus rocks! We have the most awesome God ever! He he! It's happening all over the place. No going back! He acts and who can stop Him? He is the wild fire!
Update from Wirral this weekend...
We've just come back from the Wirral with Pioneer People in Northern England. Despite not being used to this stuff, the guys there were so hungry they decided as a church to embrace the wild fire glory no matter what it looked like. We took a whacked up team and when we got there they had painted a big sign saying Wirral welcomes the Wild Fire. They had even gone onto the beaches to light fires looking onto Northern Wales as a prophetic act. God really honoured their faith and courage! God is raising a new breed of leaders who are risk takers and full of courage. History belongs to the courageous! History belongs to people of faith!
The Lord spoke to us once and said "If you honour my presence, I will honour you." This is exactly what happened on the weekend. These guys overcome their fears and made space for the King of Glory. The outcome was a supernatural glory filled weekend with healings, angels, fragrances, salvations & words of knowledge on the streets, and amazing stories. If this doesn't make you hungry nothing will!
Check this out...there's more stories coming but here's a quick roundup...
- A guy who couldn't laugh due to a medical condition was healed and laughed for twenty minutes straight.
- An atheist was jumped on by Holy Spirit on the streets and began to shake and cry and gave his life to the Lord. He texted us saying "I found God today!"
- God showed the team specific words of knowledge for people on the streets - occupations, family situations, occupations, and events that had happened in the past. Many of these people were so impacted they were totally opened up to Jesus.
- A few of the guys were drunk and some kids wanted to feel God. They gave their hearts to the Lord.
- A fragrance came in the meetings on several occasions.
- Oil appeared dripping from the walls of a bedroom in the morning - these guys had never seen this stuff ever before.
- Gold dust covered one of the team members hands.
- One young girl started to know where angels were in the room and started to see them for the first time. She was blown away.
- Others were whacked up for the first time in years.
- Visible flashes of light were seen in the room as the angelic was moving.
The youth group which the church has been doing for ages for locals exploded when the youth leaders were drunk and shacking and had to explain what was happening to them. Here's the story...
Sam, Meg & Charlotte (our daughters) were involved in a mega prayer/prophesy marathon at the youthclub last night. Kids were coming in off the park just to be prayed for & have words spoken over their lives. There were words of knowledge going on & it was so packed that there was no room. The kids went & got more kids from the park & they knocked on the door even after the youthy had shut, asking for more prayer for their mates. Sam said it all happened because he & Meg were laughing, getting in the glory & sharing stories about how great God is. Meg was thrilled because you/Dave had said that morning that there'll be times when something happens just because she's there!! This is awesome man, thanks for what you've deposited with us.
A woman who couldn't sleep on her back was able to sleep again on her back for the first time in years - a major breakthrough for her...the email says...
... she said that yesterday afternoon she felt God prompt her to go to bed for a lie down. She didn't really want to because she stiffens up during the day if she goes to bed but she did as she was told. If Sue lies on her back she is usually in a lot of physical pain, to the point where she cries out. However, yesterday she lay on her back, pain free & she even slept on her back throughout the night. This is unheard of!! Come on!!
Some guys at the meetings had NEVER seen this stuff before or done any supernatural stuff despite working with young people for years. They said they couldn't understand it but knew it was God and wanted it. One of them had oil drip down the walls in their home the Sunday morning. Here's their latest update...
The oil has left the wall with only a stain left... Not to worry; got it on my hands instead this morning. Went to Plessington for a meeting and my hands started shimmering silver, it was all over my mobile as well where I had hold of it; a couple of us were standing in reception staring at my hands. Then had a lesson at Calday boys and then CU at lunch; Crystal clear word of knowledge before the lesson for a lad and his Dad but didn't meet the lad. Go in to CU and oils comes on my hands, pray for one kid's messed up toe, with teachers, and his leg starts twitching (no confirmation of healing yet); then we pray and God tells me which kid is the kid with the Dad from before. Speak out the word and he and all his mates are freaked. Spot on! Jake is having words of knowledge at home!!!!!! Flip, this is nuts!!!!! Jake suddenly knows stuff about me that nobody else knows.... ARGGGHHHH. He is prophesying healing over a kid in the MadHouse play group and shouting "God is Amazing". This morning we pulled infection and ear ache out of Matthews ear. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is amazing. Going from nothing supernatural to breakouts! When people embrace what God is doing it births destiny, breakthrough and fulfilment.
Others came from outside the area and were blasted. Here's one story from some Leeds guys....
6 of us came from Leeds to join in on Saturday. All I can say is that I was blessed from my head to my toes... I just felt and enjoyed the presence of the Holy Spirit in a way which hasn't happened for years. I still felt quite drunk yesterday and today I am just enjoying God' presence in a fresh way. I have been spoilt and don't want to live as I was any more. Thank you all for coming up to share what God is doing. Now we want to see God touch our friends and people who don't know Him in Leeds.
So that kind of gives a taste of what we saw. Let the Northern Lights arise! The Lord showed us tribes are rising in the North to break open the region, spreading over the borders into Wales, Ireland and Scotland, and down into the Midlands. The heart of England is going to get shocked again by a bolt of supernatural glory. The heart of England is coming alive once more. The Northern region is set for an uprising of warriors. It's time for the Northern Lights to shine! Keep your eyes peeled across that region. Wild fires on the high places! Wild fire on the streets! A sound will be heard, a mighty roar that will travel for miles.
Blessings, EMERGE Team
GLORY on the streets North Wales
13th April 2008
This is the stuff it's all about! Here's an update from some guys connecting in with Emerge - Andy, Lucy and Kathy with awesome glory stories from the streets on the most recent phase of the sowing seeds prayer walk through the nation! Yeah God!
Hunger on the streets
During a recent prayer walk from Caernarvon to Liverpool, a few of us went out on the streets in Colwyn Bay, Rhyl and Birkenhead. We saw amazing hunger for God, breakouts of gold and young people begin journeys of faith.
In Colwyn Bay lots of people stopped to talk. We prayed for healings and gave prophetic words. One lady began to cry as she was so pleased and surprised that people were talking kindly to her. I think what she encountered was God in our smiles and words.
The openness of young people in Rhyl was incredible. We were asking for heaven to breakout in their lives. On many young people gold dust was on their hands before we even started to pray!
We met a teenage girl and spoke to her about how God loved her, thought she was precious and could forgive her. She seemed interested but cautious. She opened up a little bit and then said, 'Are you sure he can forgive me for everything, even if I have had an abortion?' She then got really embarrassed and left quickly. I wanted to speak with her more.
An hour or so later we passed her with a friend outside a house. As we walked down the street her friend shouted after us 'Will you pray for me?' She came running over the road towards us and said she had a pain in her stomach. Andy prayed for her, she started to laugh and said she felt a tingly feeling. She then gave to her life to Jesus and explained it by saying, 'I have just asked Jesus to come into my heart, so I can speak to him all the time'. The girl who we had met earlier also asked if we could pray for her stomach, so we were able to ask for God's love and healing to touch her, which was amazing.
The following day in Birkenhead we prayed for people for healing, gave prophetic insight and again saw gold dust on young people's hands. One guy we met seemed reluctant at first, but as God gave us words about the direction of his life he opened right up, and said he was really grateful we had taken the time to talk.
We met two teenage girls who were hungry for God. Gold came on their hands and God gave us words for them. They were surprised how we knew stuff! After speaking with them for a while they prayed with us to invite God to come into their hearts and be in their lives.
It's not often you hear the words 'will you pray for me?' as you walk down the street. We were so wrecked by God's love for the lost and the broken. Seeing His sweetness poured out on the hungry was such a privilege. There is a challenge for us to rise up and respond to the hungry so the fishies can come in. It will stretch us, but we can do it if we stay in the shooby juice of the golden glory!
Lucy Frazer, Kathy (crazy girl) Gada and Andy (wild man) Crump!

Since October 2005 God has been coming in a heavy glory manifestation in South Wales. Many of us have been impacted and ignited by this. It's difficult to say where or when it started as so many are encountering God in different ways. All we know is that something was birthed and Emerge and other ministries have been feeding and caring for this baby to see it spread and grow.
For us it started in October 2005 after a season of intensive prayer and seeking God. At 11:05pm His glory crashed into our home for two and half hours. After this we found a heavy presence would remain on us. People would get drunk and gold dust and other signs would manifest in our lives. The glory started to move in and take over eventually leading to us praying full time. Since then we have tried to make it a lifestyle of staying in His presence. We're learning He wants a resting place. As we've honoured Him He has kept coming and now for weeks at a time this glory remains and amazing things take place such as seeing in the Spirit realm, prophetic awareness, angelic interaction, healings, miracles and salvation. This is what Jesus modelled - the Spirit was UPON Him because He anointed Him to preach good news to the poor. Of ourselves we can do nothing! We love and honour the Spirit and want Him to stay! When the Spirit comes He brings the kingdom with Him. This is really the key to everything - intimacy with the Spirit of Glory. He wants to possess us. He wants to own us 24/7.
Wherever we go we find this glory comes on people and ignites destiny, breakthrough and hunger. The fruit of these encounters are amazing. We consider it a great privilege to be a part of this in spreading the fire. We realise there is a long way to go but over time you can see the miracles, salvations and stories are increasing.
But our main goal and focus is encountering God and taking Him to the harvest. God is restoring the glory of the gospel with power, signs and wonders. God is going to move in a very public, visible way and the nations will be amazed at His glory. What is coming worldwide has little historical precedent in terms of scope or impact. Azusa Street and the Welsh revival of 1904 show how quickly God can move and impact nations. There is a Tsunami rising out in the sea that is going to re-define a generation when it fully manifests. This has been the hope and prayer of many for generations, and it now beginning to be realised. These unusual signs and wonders, angelic encounters and manifestations of God's presence are going to continue to increase until nations turn. This is one of the greater works Jesus spoke about - nations being born in a day and turning to Him. The leaves of heaven are coming down to bring healing. Through the church God is going to reverse the curse of Babel.
Wild fire France - A pearl of great price
We've just come back from meeting with the hungry in Paris, France. There are grassroot movements rising all over the earth that have the same DNA. They've had enough of the status quo, they are emerging and daring to believe. God is honouring the faith, expectation and hunger with His glory. Very few of the new leaders we are meeting in the Nations are known or the chosen in church circles. God is choosing the foolish things to shame the wise. The spiritual landscape is changing and with a few years many new leaders will be carrying the torch visibly for a new generation. Those who resist the Spirit of Grace have had their day. But from obscurity champions of heaven are going to arise like Gideon and turn the battle at the gates of the cities of the earth. In days of crisis God looks for the willing - and there are many that are now awake to the trumpet sound.
Preaching in France. Come on heaven!!!
This time we took a new team from the UK for this trip with guys from England and Wales. Everything just flowed and released the wild fire together (surely a sign of things to come). We heard many stories from our last visit there a year ago that so blessed us. They were hungry, really hungry and I know this thing can only keep spreading. Even since we've been our host families have had an angelic encounter. God acts and who can stop it?
On the Saturday night the fire just broke out at one point. There was such a burning in the room. France is soaked with martyrs blood. That blood is a prayer that still speaks. God is answering with FIRE. The best is yet to come for this nation. When God pays back the devil He does it in style!
Crazy French people - We love you!!!
After the wild fire gathering on the Saturday we split up and ministered in different places on the Sunday. This is one of the greatest benefits of taking teams - you can spread out! Everyone has a part to play in these days. One man ministry is officially over! One of the team - Nigel Stock preached in a home church in French. How awesome it that! Come on glory! Justin and Rachel ministered to the sick in another church and people got whacked up real good. We then met for a lunch time glory fest. Loads of people showed up and there was a lotta fun in the juice!
We really see the connection between the UK and France growing. It's interesting that their head of government President Nicholas Sarkozy recently came here and is seeking a new era of cooperation. Could it be that this is just a sign in the natural of what is already happening in the spiritual. Martin Scott will be travelling there also during the next few weeks - but this time to the South. Sowing seeds reaping trees! Whatever the future holds it is clear France is being highlighted by the Lord again in these days. Viva La France!!! Viva La France!! Wales is with you in the battle!
South Coast Glory
This week Justin travelled down to the South Coast to a Deeper night in Portsmouth. Kathy and Lucy were hosting and the whole thing was pretty wild. Those guys have got the goods and new people are connecting all the time. Each night seems to go a little higher. We're just cheering them on! Amazing to hear how God has impacted so many people through the Welsh wild fire. This is a movement that is moving!
Then we went to check out the land for the South Coast Street tour in the summer. We're planning on taking a team along the coast to fish. Ended up praying for people and just getting wrecked on how much Jesus loves the lost. Portsmouth is going to be a fishy harvest in the summer. It's set up for it. Really exciting. God yearns for the lost and we're following His heart. Keep an eye open for the tour. It's going to AMAZING!
Belgium Brussels
This weekend we went to Brussels, Belgium to speak at a conference with our matey John Crowder. Another chance to whack innocent people, connect, push the spiritual boundaries and encounter God. This was our first time to Belgium. We love spending time with John. He is an inspiration and adds fuel to the fire. John has seem some unusual signs and wonders recently. Will hear about that soon enough at Sloshfest '08 - Head in the Barrel (don't forget to register)!
John "permanentmarkerpen" Crowder and Justin Abraham in Brussels
Brussels is the unofficial capital of Europe. Just wandering around the streets you can see the moral and spiritual decay that has set into this continent. Our hosts showed us around. One area of the City was a row of shop windows with prostitutes in their underwear enticing people to come in. I had never seen anything like it before. This was going on in broad daylight with mothers and children going about their daily lives. Unbelievable.
We really felt God's heart for these woman. That is not God's plan for them - these are people's sisters, daughters and even wives. How has this happened? We heard that Antwerp also has the same problem. God wants to restore dignity and honour to these precious woman. We have been invited to mobilize a team to go back there to impact those tied up in this industry. If that is something you feel called to let us know. We will need women for that type of trip as it is far too sketchy for men to be on the front line for obvious reasons.
Throughout Brussels you can see Islam. It is rising and there were Moslems everywhere. God has brought the harvest to our door. We went out onto the streets to reach the lost. I stood up in the middle of a food area in the train station and preached heaven was at hand. The security guys tried to stop up but it was too late, the hungry people wanted prayer. I told them there was no law against it! They said people can go to church if they want God. I told them Jesus went to the people. They couldn't stop us. We saw people crying as God move on them. It was powerful. Other members of the team had similar experiences and some people fell under the power, others accepted Jesus as Lord throwing beer cans into the bin. Some of the team gave out roses and totally disarmed people with God's love. The harvest is ripe across Europe but will we go? Our hearts are burning for the lost. I cannot explain the groan we now feel. This movement is going way beyond conferences, renewal and events, it is going to the most broken, lost and hungry places in the nations. The gospel will be preached to the poor. These are days of outrageous grace on a broken generation.
View from the second floor of the Eiffel Tower. Lot of glory up there!!!
That's it for today's update. Just wanted to keep our friends and partners in the loop! We may not always send out regular updates, but God is moving in power and we are amazed. Eventually thousands will gather and the miracles will be seen on TV and the web. God is raising a Joel's army out of the ashes of religion and defeat. This army will be clothed in power, purity and unity and Christianity will never be irrelevant again.
Blessings, Emerge team.
Supernatural oil, perfume and winds - January 2008
Hey there! Crazy weekend of heavy glory with Gary and Sarah in Cardiff and wild fire Bristol. People came from all over the UK to get whacked by God. Lots of stories coming in. On the Saturday a pool of oil appeared out the front and Tim (Wales very own Godfrey Birtill!) got healed when he touched the oil onto his body. On the Sunday people came to the meeting with stories of fragrances filling their house. On the Saturday night oil appeared in Gary's bible - it was full of the stuff. Angels came and interacted with people. Many people smelt God. Next day the worship team told us the cymbals and drums smelt of a fragrance and as they were talking about this stuff oil came on Ann's hands. Many people have reported personal breakthroughs. These are days of great grace on a broken generation and we feel privileged to see it. Here's one testimony...
Wind and Fragrances of heaven
I arrived on Sat feeling like a dry sponge thrown onto a bucket of water and just floating on top of it.
During the worship just before we prayed for the kids I felt like someone had turned on one of those big fans used on movie sets to create wind effects, it was soooooo loud I thought everyone must be feeling/hearing it but was gobsmacked when my husband and friends said later that they hadn't! Then there was a gentle sound of approaching summer rain but it got louder and louder like a torrential downpour in Asia (we've lived out there and it is really something in the monsoon). Just after I got a trumpet call type groaning with a real sense of battle but with victory already a sure thing for us (now if only book makers would offer odds on that!!).
If that wasn't brill enough I was smelling cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla for ages during the word (imagine that in such a crowded sweaty room full of people!) and the weight of glory was physical. I was immersed in peace and relaxation which if you knew me you'd say 'about time too!' We've been going through a really difficult situation at our girl's school where requests from us for Health and Safety rules (Fire Risk) to be observed by the Headteacher has resulted in false accusations and unpleasantness. I've had high blood pressure and been so angry and outraged at the injustice. Although I've cried out to Jesus to change my heart and help me to respond, and not just react, I just haven't had the break through. WELL I HAVE NOW!! Not only that I have real compassion and love for her. I want to see break through for her and have faith to know that when we go to see her soon, whatever she says (I'm expecting a verbal attack) it will be an opportunity for God to impact her life as we RESPOND in what ever way He would have us do......I'm in faith for salvation for her and a whole school and staff impacted. (We also have an openly practising witch as a teacher in the school - Daddy get 'em with your glory and love 'em up!!).
My husband was really encouraged too, he's had a tough few months with this situation, also being made redundant and moving into a new postition that is challenging his comfort zones, he has been very occupied with 'stuff'. So it was a real blessing to him too.
I think that sponge is quite a bit wetter now and I'll be pushing in for a whole lot more!
K. from Cardiff
Great story!
We had an email last night of gold dust appearing in the kitchen. God's glory is actually being seen in these days. Make room and He will come. He loves you more than you realise and is hungry for you!
Wild Fire hits India - Dec 2007
All I can say is Wow, what an amazing time we had in India. I just want to thank God for those of you who prayed for us and those who gave sacrificially towards this trip, sending us to harvest Mumbai. God's presence came so strong. I have never been in a series of meetings where I have seen such an explosion of healings and the miraculous. Each night God's Glory showed up and all the little fishies keenly jumped into our boats. On two of the nights we saw over 700 souls saved. One night we saw maybe a hundred healings and miracles. What shocked us wasn't just the quantity of healings but the way that God healed so many with very serious conditions. Here in the U.K we get excited and so we should when we see back pains healed or knees that have been stiff loosened up, but what we saw in India was so significant. We saw so many completely deaf ears open up, many many cancerous tumours disappeared. I prayed for one lady that had a tumour the size of a strawberry on her neck, I felt it starting to shrink, she returned the following night and testified that it had totally gone. We saw several cripples walk, many had teeth grow back into their heads and the stories go on and on. John Crowder prayed for one lady who wasn't able to stand up as her body was twisted up, as he stood her on her feet she straightened up and walked away completely healed! God is so good!

New connections in London
It is the connections that have been amazing. One girl phoned and will be moving to France in the New year and gave me the email of a friend already in France to pass on to Annette who has bought a house in Limoges. Another girl phoned from Cobham and wanted to come if Justin and Dave were going to be here because they want to start their own meetings in Cobham and weren't sure whether to have in a home or bigger venue. Peter Martin phoned from Bogner Regis. He has had connections with Martin Scott and gets the Emerge Wales emails. He's hungry for God and wants to connect with us. He has family in our area and wont find it difficult to come. A leader from a church nearby wanted to connect with people who are hungry like she is and a friend connected to Emerge told her about our meeting. There were 4 of us there who are all training to be Street Pastors, which was interesting, so we were asking for Divine appointments etc. etc. Come Lord to the streets of Romford. We want to see people set free and touched by Your fire! 3 fellas travelled one and a half hours to get here and we had a wail of a time with them. Had a second meeting with them as a lot of people had gone by the time they arrived. One guy started prophesying about my house and that was me gone!! We were prophesying to each other at the end and it was so encouraging. Marion left her bag here from the first meeting, came back for it and received a prophecy from this guy Andy. She was really encouraged. One of the guys sent me an email after to say how awesome it was to be in the Presence of Jesus with us! It is so exciting. He (not Jesus!!) can't be at our next one which is November 4th at 2.30 because he is in U.S.A. but wants to come again. More Lord ! We are hungry for more of you. Each meeting has been different and God has met with us each time.Can't wait to see what He is going to do at the next one!! Love Gerry xx
TRIP TO IRELAND (BRIDGE COMMUNITY CHURCH)
Hi Guys, Update on today's mission. We encouraged a number of people on the way round the city. But more importantly we were able to pray for Nass a Philipino guy working in a Chinese restaurant by the river. He was blessed, and the power of God was all over him. Pastor Penny, and Pastor Ceedo a couple of AOG folk from Texas who are involved in a church plant in Belfast, who we met as they were giving out invitations to a celebration next Tues. We prayed Dad's blessing on them. Dave nearly fell on the floor under the anointing 'cos it was so strong. Nan was on her way to Lisburn whom we met in the railway station, so we prayed a blessing on her. Dave thought it was important that we should bring our Welsh fire, and our St. David's flag. We found St. Georges Church, the oldest Christian site in Belfast, and we released the Welsh fire, laid the flag on the floor and prayed. Dave almost fell out here too. We also made it to St. Annes, Belfast Cathederal, where in the chapel for the Holy Spirit, we laid the flag overthe pulpit and prayed again for unity and revival to hit N. Ireland. In between all that we managed to take in lots of the city sights, wear our shoe leather out, and get Irish Stew and a pint for lunch. Tomorrow we feel we should look around more churches in the city, to pray and release the Welsh fire. Oh by the way we have just come back from Ian Paisley's 'free' Presbyterian church. It's massive, and all the gates were chained and locked, so we prayed for freedom from religious spirits. Thanks for praying, Denis and Dave. Bridge Community Church.
Fish jumping in the boat
Dave has been sharing around the UK about how we're coming into the days where the fish are just jumping into our little glory boat. Everytime we go on the streets stuff happens. We just smell of fish. Sarah Brenton one of the guys who travels with us led four people to the Lord over two days during Wild fire Bristol and Sloshfest. Up until then she'd never seen anyone saved before. She smells like fish and so does the rest of the team!! We saw around 30 saved in Bristol in just over an hour and a half of standing on the streets getting whacked.
In Manchester this weekend we saw God move again with healings and salvations on the high street. Dave walked up to one girl and when he was six foot away she began to cry. Dave said "What are you feeling?" She said heat came all over her chest. She was really touched and gave her heart to the Lord. Soon after she got healed of partial deafness when we prayed for her. She said she couldn't put into words how she felt or how much this had meant to her. She was overwhelmed by God's love and you could see God's presence all over her face. Another teenager, this time a young boy who wanted to be a footballer had back problems and was shocked when God instantly healed him. He wanted to become a Christian there and then. It was great! We got to prophesy and talk to a whole bunch of people.
God is doing some awesome stuff. Here's a UTUBE video - it's so funny. The fish are jumping in the boat, smacking the guy in the face. These are the days we're living in. The glory is drawing people to Jesus. We just get whacked in a public place and it happens!
This has been a summer of glory on the streets. We've seen over 100 saved in a short time and it's been so much fun! It's a small sign of the awesome revival that is to come. Thousands will gather. Creative miracles will turn whole towns. We go from glory to glory and the best is yet to come! Jesus rocks!!!
Story - Glory in the hair dressers!
Finally a nice testimony came in this last week from a friend of ours Beulah in South Wales. Here's the story in her own words...
A few weeks ago I went to have my hair cut and I prayed that God would give me an opportunity to speak to him. Anyway I went and got talking to him about general stuff and then as he was cutting my hair he asked me if I had been partying on the weekend which was a strange thing to say. I said no and then he asked me if I was sure I had not been partying to which I asked him why . He then informed me that there was all glitter in my hair in colours gold, silver, blues, greens etc.and at that point I realized this was God at work so I was able to talk to him about things. I never saw the "glitter" and wish I'd asked for a mirror now but in many ways it was not for me it was for the guy to see. God is awesome. Blessings, Beulah
Great stuff! God is so creative. Love it. In Manchester on the Saturday night a whole lot of angelic activity was going on at the back with people shacking and stuff. Gold dust just seemed to drop on Helen's leg and hands. It was great and such a sign for the people there who'd never seen this stuff before. We're in days of visible glory like Isaiah 60 - it will be seen. We're finding the glory keep coming, but we know we've seen nothing yet!

Salvations, healings and supernatural sings...
Hey guys the last month has been amazing. Probably the most exciting yet in terms of seeing God move on the streets.
When Jim Drown and Josh Mills came to Cardiff , they both felt it was to impart glory harvest – the manifestation of God’s glory that leads to salvations. Jim calls it Gory invasion. We took Jim onto the streets and saw many people saved in Gloucester , Cardiff , and Brynmawr (around 60 or more people in just a few hours). Five kids got saved in the night at Brynmawr when silver dust appeared on their hands. Since that meeting they told the pastor the silver has kept coming on them. Since that time we’ve been seeing the little fishes jumping into the boat! They are drawn to the glory.
In Ireland the two days at the Puck Fair was a blast. We saw many people come for spiritual readings (prophetic words) and dream interpretations. The hunger was extreme with at times four teams running at the same time. Once we got into the flow (you sometimes have to press through) the revelations kept on coming, with some guys on the team getting names, places, careers and so on. The news spread around town and even the one of the psychics came to see us for a word. Just in the town some for the team saw two people healed while we were waiting for the festival goat to be released (a weird tradition – the poor goat is held up in the air for three days, before being set free). Even closing the tent we saw two healed and three saved as a group of travellers came up to us. They were so hungry they were begging for a word. Awesome God!
During Wild Fire Bristol last week the meetings were pretty crazy (you had to be there!). We took a team onto the streets to just get hammered in the Holy Ghost and see what happens. There was no plan other than getting as whacked as possible in the drunken glory of Jesus. In just an hour and a half around twenty people accepted Jesus and several were healed emotionally and physically. Many people gathered around us to see what was happening. Some kids just wanted it without even knowing what it was. God gave us some pretty precise prophetic revelations for people. Funny thing was a police man came to check us out when he saw a body on the floor. When I asked if he wanted prayer too, you should have seen him run away I almost chased him up the road! It was brilliant! The kingdom of heaven is at hand!
Even at the Slosh Fest some of the crazies led people Christ during the break times. One bloke got saved and came to the meeting to be baptised that day. Around seven people were baptised at the meetings. So we’re pretty excited. Just this week I went into a shop and the Lord showed me the woman serving was an artist and was fuzzy about here future career direction. When I asked her if she was an artist and told her clarity was coming over the next few months regarding her career direction she was blown away and asked if I was a psychic. It felt so good to say it was God speaking! Christians are going to be known again as carriers of the kingdom glory.
See guys God is moving in a new way. There is an amplification of the prophetic and the glory coming on the streets. Gary Morgan said that Shift and Quicken (angels Gary has met) were being released to speed things up in Wales . We’re just so thankful that the things we’ve been praying for are now being manifested before our eyes. We are literally seeing destiny, breakthrough and fulfilment repeatedly. And what is coming will exceed in every way what we are seeing right now. We go from glory to glory.

God moving on the streets of Ireland
Hey guys, we’re having an amazing time right now and hope to send out some reports soon. In Ireland we saw God move in a new age fair over two days in an extraordinary way. We saw healings, salvations and many people come for dream interpretations and spiritual readings (prophecies). Even one of the psychics came because she’d heard we were so good and she wasn’t getting any business! People were spreading the news around town!
God was giving us detailed information about people sometimes names, jobs and where people were going to live. The hunger was so strong that even as we were putting the tent down a group of travellers came up begging for a word. Two were healed and three saved within a short time. God is moving on the streets and light belongs in the darkness.

Violent Shaking!
This is an experience my mum had a few months ago. My mum’s name is Isobel, she is 69 years old and was brought up in the Apostolic Church , which emerged from the welsh revival of 1904.
“God spoke to me and violently shook me, all I could say was Oh God, Oh God, The more I cried out Oh God, the more violent the shaking became. My whole body was heaving, I groaned as if I had birth pangs and the anointing grew stronger, and stronger. I knew without a doubt that it was God. I have had a similar experience before but never as violent as this time, while under the state of violent shaking God said to me “This night I am shaking nations and strongholds are coming down”
The more violent the birth-pangs were, strongholds were breaking down. I began to cry out with cries from a depth I did not know I was capable of, the power was so strong I thought, “What is this”? I began to groan from the depth of my innermost being, Oh God, Oh God, Oh God, that was all I could say, Oh God, there was a great wave of violence and power in me, I could only cry out. I said Oh God give me gold dust on my hands so that I would know for sure that this was from Him, back came the answer, NO, gold is an outward sign, I have given you an inward sign, revival is coming, not tonight, not tomorrow, but soon,
I have shook the nations this night, after hours of this violence within me, I wept, and wept, as I have never wept before, then the Lord spoke to me again and said a river of peace would flow through my spirit, and everything became calm,
Then I had a dream, I was inside a church, there was a balcony with two round pillars supporting it, then I saw the pillars crash down. I struggled with what it meant, I could not understand why the balcony did not crumble, then the Holy Spirit revealed this. He was taking away the traditional structure of the church that had stood for years, He was replacing it with a new Holy Spirit structure. He was going to do a new thing, Old things were not going to hold anymore, the Holy Spirit was bringing change, New Holy Spirit pillars are being placed in the church.”

Break the silence!
Hey guys! This is all so cool! We here in Nailsea are getting excited too. We turned the TV on the other night to watch the God TV for the first time in 2 years . Patricia King and James Goll are speaking on how the Lord had challenged them to start using the gift of tongues more. Mick and I decided to go for it. The next evening there was a break through in a normally quiet soaking eve. Ten people turned up when all our regulars werent able to come which totally surprised us and then when we went round and prayed for people they were laughing and set free.
My sister came to stay from Leeds for the weekend and we prayed for my sisters eyes on Sunday eve shes a diabetic and during her teenage years and early 20s found it hard to control her diabetes. Shes now 27 and cant see too well at all HOWEVER after we prayed she has got a great improvement with her eye sight. How cool is that. She can now see hedges, branches and leaves clearly and roof tops etc instead of it all being just a fuzz. Number plates are much clearer though not 100% but she has had a huge improvement so we are praying for the rest now. Probably about 75% improvement so far - she was not far off blind before. We are so excited.
Then I went to see my mum yesterday who is bed ridden and the Lord had given her a dream which has brought so much freedom to her past - stuff she would never ever talk about. I now feel confident to talk about some other things with her which the Lord has put on my heart to bring her to freedom and pray for her healing.
We had some friends down from Winchester last night and when we prayed with them before they went home we had an awesome time. The fire of god came down and they were on the floor sweating like anything and crying etc. THe lady took a spiritual sword out of its sheath and started shouting "Break the Silence" over and over again. God is awesome!
Ha ha! - this rain is definitely a sign of a mighty outpouring of Gods Spirit and whilst I love the sun and the summer - if it means we get more of God then I say rain keep coming!
Shaba! Bless you loads, Sue and Mick Taylor (July 2007)
Open door to next door!
I went to visit my next door neighbours last weekend to thank them for looking after our garden whilst away and spoke of a gentleman who had been miraculously spared from death and recounted his heavenly vision before being restore to health. As I was leaving the gentleman who has a church background but no live faith, drew me back into the house and recounted his own out of body experience when near death.I believe the words I spoke have awakened again fresh faith in his heart and I was able to reassure him as he was frightened by this experience as he was above the bed where he lay and looking down on the surgeons who were performing life saving procedures. He was able to tell them what they were wee doing when he come back into his body and regained consciousness. I reassured Him that "underneath him were "the everlasting arms" and he reflected back that "there is truth in that". Praise Jesus!
It is like at every turn there are opportunities, but it is without stress, pressure, working it up. Jesus is making a way. The release of the Kingdom is at hand.

Carpel Tunnel Syndrome healed on the streets...
Can you remember recently you had a word for me, I think it might have been at Antioch? It was about God making things I had dreamed for on the streets easy. Today I was in town with Jon purposely to allow God's Glory to manifest. Just after I had breakfast in a local cafe we stepped out on the street near the bus station and met a woman who is on the committee of the residents ass. at Wildmill. As we were exchanging pleasantries I noticed on her left wrist she had one of those support things fitted. I asked what was wrong and she said she had carpel tunnel syndrome. I must have hesitated for about 20 seconds before I said 'Can I pray for you?' Immediately she said 'Yes please, I'm in awful pain.' I asked her to rest her wrist in the palm of my hand and we prayed a very simple prayer of command. I wasn't prepared for what happened. (25 yrs of disappointment?) Instantly she began to wriggle her fingers. She said her fingers were tingling, and the pain had completely gone. I told her that was the power of the presence of the Holy Spirit. She was beaming. I believe this 'sign' will be a wonder all over Wildmill before you come up for the carnival.
Later we led someone to the Lord who had depression, prayed for a young man to get a job, and another as he had a nasty bruise on his left eye. I personally watered many seeds I had planted over the years before I got the bus home. Thank you for standing with me, I love you guys to the max.

No going back now!
Have had a chance to talk to quite a lot of folks already about the conference, you two, and what God is doing in Wales. There is great hunger here as well. I believe God is lighting a fire in everyone we talk to. We're getting calls and requests for stories, CDs, etc. I've also been experieinceing God's Glory coming on me when I just start talking... we met our son for dinner right after we got home MOnday night and as I was telling him about the conference, God just came... no gold dust, : ) but His Presence was sweet. Our pastor e-mailed today and wants to talk w/us... I've deemed our house a Glory Zone.... there is no going back now.

Glory time in Brynmawr...
One of our favourite events over the last few weeks was the Fire of God night in Brynmawr hosted by Stuart Wheatman - 9th July 2007. Brynmawr is a town in the Welsh Valleys. We took Jim Drown our friend from the USA with us to speak. The meeting was in a hall and the place was packed out, which for Wales on a Monday night is pretty cool! It was like the community showed up. Even the local police came asking what we were doing. We got to pray for the police outside the meeting. Pastors from several churches in the area came, people brought hankies for healing prayers for family at home with cancer and sickness. There was an atmosphere of faith, hunger and expectancy. There were several healing that night alone. Heres some of the testimonies we've had back
- Detached Retina - A woman had an eye problem with a number of operations for retinal detachment leaving her unable to see blues they appeared grey. After prayer her retina was healed. She pointed out blue clothing there and then in the meeting. Weve since heard her eye is now fine! God did what doctors couldnt do fixed her eye!
- Twisted Hip A young woman had a twisted hip injury which was very painful. She felt much better after prayer.
- High Blood Pressure - Felt healed as the power of God came on him and will shortly be checking with his local GP to see the results.
- One woman had 40% deafness and ringing in an ear for approx 8 years. Saw a big improvement.
- A small girl had a vent in one ear with hearing loss and discomfort. She was totally healed in the meeting.
- A man after a heart attack had stents put inside him. He was being consistently touched by the Lord in the meeting and reported that he was feeling much improved. His chest was lighter and freer. He looked good!
At the Glory explosion we also saw people healed of back problems, partial deafness, mental problems, depression, arthritis, and a man who had feeling come back to his body after a stroke, his speech also seems better than before.
Young people saved...
We brought some kids in off the street into the Brynmawr meeting. Theyd been fighting outside and a few had split knuckles. When we talked to them you could see the longing in their eyes for meaning and love. When they came in they watched people falling under the power with curiosity. Gold and silver specks started to appear on some of their hands as a sign. Consequently five of these guys gave their hearts to the Lord that night. They were really touched! A few days later they bumped into the pastor - Stuart at the local shop. They told him the gold dust is still coming on them and wanted to know where the meeting would be on Sunday! How amazing is that! Young people getting born again straight into the supernatural & glory realm. Times are changing and this generation will interact with heaven so naturally. Say what you want about the gold dust weve seen loads of people open up when it appears. Its a sign to unbelievers that Jesus is real.

Glory in Cardiff Market & Sainsburys!
Email from South England
"Just to let you know some of the follow on from the conference. When we got back on the Sunday morning the young guys and ourselves got to pray for those who wanted an impartation of the Glory. It was a mega response with many ending up on the floor and one of the younger girls getting gold and silver all over her skirt and a measure of healing for deafness
Di and I also had opportunities for praying for a lady in Cardiff Indoor Market and brought a word to her. Also we were asked to share what had happened during the day with a group of regulars at the pub where we stayed for B&B. They really accepted us and one couple have invited us to a special evening they are putting on and we may well come up for that.
On the Monday after the conference I got to tell a couple of our friends about the Glory, they wanted to receive for themselves so I prayed for them in the middle of Sainsburys. The guy was really glowing and his young wife nearly ended up amongst the shelves of Dolmio.
We have got a copy of 'Wild Wandering' [Karen Lowes new book highly recommend!] which is really inspiring us as that has been a vision of ours for quite a while so we are really praying where we go and what we do over the next few months."

Spontaneous gathering...
These guys dropped us a line to let us know theyd spent a night pressing in with some friends in South East Wales. Here's what happened...
"We spent time just worshipping, praying and prophesying. At the end we started to get gold dust. It was so funny because the more excited we got the more the dust came. It was like the Father saw the sheer excitement and kept pouring from Heaven. We will be meeting weekly just to worship, soak, encourage and to get sloshed. There are a lot of hungry God Chasers out there."

Everyone gets gold on their hands...
It seems two things are happening right now people are so hungry they're meeting up with friends to soak and pray, and when they do this God shows up with His glory presence often with gold. Here's another recent email...
"Hey Justin- just to let you know that as I read these three e-mails on flying etc. the gold dust came on my hands and I felt such an anointing I pretty much felt like flying myself! Since the conference in Cardiff we have had an awesome time here with people turning up randomly to pray - I put on a praise CD and we just literally take off and everyone gets gold dust on their hands. This anointing is spreading through our church too which I know will surprise you - another friend and I had gold on our hands in church this morning and I began to shake which was rather tricky to say the least! Yet another friend in church had mentioned to our rector that she had had gold dust on her while praying at my house, and I thought it was right to talk to him about it this morning after the service was over. He feels that God is doing something special among us. Anyway we are feeling quite blown away here - experiencing divine appointments, feeling the bliss etc. Thanks!"

Angelic encounters in the hotel
One of the young people who came to the recent meetings had a powerful encounter with the Lord. It started in the upper room in Antioch in the Jim Drown meeting with a strong sense of the glory of God being on her. In fact she looked really hammered! She went back to the hotel room with her parents. They popped out to get a snack and while she was alone two angels appeared. They started to play with her and wrestle with her around the hotel room. When the parents got back, their daughter was wrecked under the power of God. As she was explaining what happened, the angels showed up again and the whole thing kicked off again! As a family they have been deeply impacted by this encounter. We hope to publish the full account as soon as we get more. One thing is certain, although encounters like this might sound unusual we are finding many people are having similar experiences now in fact weve heard several similar accounts in Emerge meetings. In the Glory Explosion on the Saturday morning there was a strong sense of the angelic and people gathered at the front of the room where this was taking place. A man came into the meeting while this was taking place and was healed of a long term condition without any prayer whatsoever. In the coming week we hope to publish some teachings and insights on the subjects of angels to help us all press in for greater understanding of what is taking place, why the angels are coming like this, and how we can better partner with heaven. Its exciting stuff!

Drunk in the Pub!
Back from a great time at the conference and thought I would share what happened this morning! We work in the Garw valley and on Sunday mornings we have started to meet in the pub in a small village. Just a few of us gathered today and I was already pretty drunk when we arrived! So we had a great time of worship and I got hold of the others because I wanted them to fly with me! We all ended up laughing.
While we were meeting some of the pub's regulars were drinking outside and as we left I went over and was so drunk I said I've been in the pub and I'm drunk. One guy said he could do with a pint of whatever we were on! I got to put my hands on all of them! As we left they were all waving and laughing! Can't wait to see what will happen next! We meet in our village tonight! Thanks for all your encouragement,

Kids get saved in the Welsh Assembly
We took Jim and Kathy Drown down to Cardiff Bay for some lunch. We took them into the Assembly building and inside was a bunch of young people hanging out. Jim walked up to them and started getting them to drink the Holy Spirit. God came so powerfully. One of the kids was healed of a serious knee injury his leg was all swollen up. Jim got a word of knowledge about what was wrong with it. Heat came on the lads leg and he was blown apart when he realised he was healed. He stopped mocking Jim and just was awed. A wave of the glory rolled in and Jim said "Do you feel that?" All the kids said "Yes!" Jim told them it was the kingdom of heaven. They were laughing with joy and just getting whacked. Jim led all nine of them in the sinners prayer right there and then in the assembly in front of the cameras and security (who were watching the whole thing). It was a total trip! Many people in Wales have been praying for that place and then there it is suddenly God shows up in power. These are crazy days! Can you believe this happened right in the heart of the government building in Wales!

Breakout on the streets
In Gloucester we went out onto the streets to talk to people, prophesy and hang out in the glory. Dave started preaching on the square corner. A group of skaters and Goths were hanging out there. They started to listen in. Two of them gave their lives to the Lord, one re-dedicated his life to Jesus. One of the team was sitting next to a lady on the bench listening. She got hit by the glory and started manifesting demons. The team gathered around and cast them out of her. She was really blessed. She knew she needed to be freed. Another member of the team prayed for two guys who were in the square, both of them were healed. The glory was so strong. One guy just shook Daves hand and got hit by the power. We prayed for a girl with a whole in her heart, a man with a series sports injury, and gave a dream interpretation. There is such hunger out there. We went to the pastie shop for lunch. The guys behind the till saw the joy on us and pointed to Dave and said "I want what youve got!". They got hit by the fire and were blasted. They had to turn the fan on to try and cool down. God set up so many divine appointments. Were going back there this afternoon with Jim to see what happens. Gloucester is so ripe for revival. Were believing today for signs and wonders on the streets. God is moving on the streets. This movement is not about meetings its about moving out onto the streets to see whole regions impacted.

Spontaneous gathering on the streets of Dolgellau
We were travelling through Wales and stopped in Dolgellau. We just felt Gods heart for the place. Its a small town of 2,500 people. WE had a coffee in the street and just talked to a few kids. We were about to go home but we decided just to pray on the street corner. Dave said to pray in Welsh. I went for it at the top of my voice and called on heaven to come. I said Wales (Cymru) belongs to Jesus and asked Him to show His wonders again, stretch out His hand and heal, show the nation again He is real. When we opened our eyes a crowd had gathered. I kid you not there were people coming out of the shops, hanging out of the windows. A dozen or more young people were standing all around us. Dave said "Who wants to feel God?". Instantly four kids put their hands up to receive. We were blown away. I know it sounds crazy but we were so shocked by what happened we just walked away back to the car. It was a sign of whats coming. Were living in days of such hunger that just praying draws a crowd. Gods glory pulls people like a magnet. Guys were going to see thousands saved and whole towns turning to Jesus. Its time to dream BIG dreams.

Twenty years of arthritis healed instantly in the glory
A man came to the meetings whod had arthritis for over twenty years. God spoke to him before the meeting and said to come as there would be a pool of Bethesda. When he arrived we were all being touched by the angels (there were angelic breakouts several times during the gatherings). He stepped into the pool and without anyone even touching him was totally healed in the glory presence! The next day he cycled over 40 miles on his bike! How crazy is that! A totally creative miracle! More Daddy! If youre reading this and you have arthritis just receive your healing now by faith. Its a free gift. Jesus paid for it!
Emerge Team, June 2007
Many healings
In each of the meetings there have been many healings deafness, tinnitus, back pain, arthritis, damaged retina, eye sight problems, heart conditions and blood pressure, mental problems and more. Its amazing. God said a few months back we would see significant miracles and healings this year. God is coming just like he promised. But its not just for Jim Drowns ministry its for everyone. The gospel is not talk but power and righteous, peace and joy. Everywhere were going people are getting hit by the joy. Its for you guys take your bliss!

Great time in the glory in Manchester "Carriers of the Fire"
"I had the pleasure of attending the carriers of fire conference in Manchester along with the Antioch team. I was so touched by God while Karen Lowe ministered, I was overcome and cried throughout while being overcome by a holy drunkenness at the same time. The same thing happened to me while Ann OHare sang. Deb Chapman prayed for me and God deeply touched me. We witnessed the discovery of two white gemstones!! One was discovered in the car park after the initial meal and prayer meeting at cafe logos on the night before the conference started...the other appeared right at the end of the conference on the Saturday evening and was picked up off the floor by a lady who had never even heard about the gem stones before! Three eyewitnesses had seen a bright swift light descending in the meeting about 10 minutes before the gem was discovered. Could this have been an angel bringing the gem ? There was all colours of glittery dust appearing on peoples faces and Ann OHare found a piece of silver shaped like a musical note in her hair! Her face was also covered in flecks of silver. I had such an awesome time and I know that God has started a deep work in me"
Donna Vaughan, Pontypool - June 2007
My pillow was covered in gold!
"yeah Manchester was great fun!!!!! I was covered in rainbow dust most of the time.....it was fairly big chunks!!!!! Jesus told me that he was restoring hope again to the city of Manchester.....gems fell....Jen had one in the car park of the church and a lady from Manchester had one as well......all the gems that we have seen are cut the same with slight tints of colour in them. Coming home on the Sunday, we needed to go back to the house we were staying at, Rach needed her jacket and I needed my pillow......the pillow was covered in gold!!!!!! Its been great fun!!!!!"

Changing how I worship & minister
Just wanted to let you know of some personal stuff over recent weeks [months].
I have appreciated the concept of impartation. I had a slamming from Jeff Janson and Gary Morgan. It was brill! I have been really at a loss to know how to lead worship with pressing in; coming away from a model of three praise songs, three slow worship songs and then into heads down presence of God. My mindset has been completely challengedMore recently I have been using one song and then spring-boarding from that into more prophetic worship. I have not launched into prophetic songs yet. Even that small transition has been an awesome education and a challenge for me. It is experimentation for me.
I get to preach sometimes. Twice recently I have prepared ministry - a sermon, and have not been able to preach from the notes cos I am discovering downloads prophetically from the Holy Spirit. This morning in a small joint meeting with another church I felt it was like holding an Uzzi machine gun firing away on its own without me knowing how to control it. Awesome! I had notes and never started them. I am used to preaching with notes. I just need to learn poise, peace and self control and know how to use automatic mouth properly! Exciting isn't it. I am approaching this as a little toddler with my hand in Daddy's.
Just to say we really love and appreciate you guys. I always look forward to being with you. Rob, South Wales- May 2007
Revelations through soaking
"We waited/soaked with the Lord and then wrote down what we felt God was saying to us. The Lord spoke to me quite powerfully personally but then gave a call to His people. There was so much passion in my heart as I sensed the Lords presence on Me - I was overwhelmed with such a strong emotions from within. He said -
Go tell the hungry ones to come up higher, tell them. plead with them - I am a lover who is eagerly waiting for love. Tell them - I am a jealous God whose heart is heavy with desire and I want to know your love for Me. Tell them, plead with them - come to Me, I am a Father and I want to feel the love and the arms of My children around Me. I love to put My arms of love around My children but I love to feel your arms of love around Me. I love it when you want to spend time with Me. Tell them to come. Many think it is a sacrifice to do this and to lay aside time from the things of this world and give up time to spend with Me yet I am the Way the Truth and the Life and you would not have life if it wasnt for me. I gave up everything for you, willingly, because I love you so much.
Come My children I am wooing and pleading with you. I am yearning and longing for you to draw close so that I can pour My life into you and reveal to you the secrets of My heart but also for Me to know your love for Me, so that love can flow one to the other because that is what relationship is. I want my church to rise up and be strong and be a beautiful and healthy and spotless bride - full of the glory of the Lord which is a sign for the whole earth to see. When it says that the whole earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea that is through My bride spread across the earth shining out with the glory of God and filled with My wisdom and knowledge and moving in My power. As My children, My bride, spend time with Me your faces will shine and reflect My glory and will be equipped with My power and saturated in My Presence and will demonstrate MY victory over the enemy with signs and wonders following. It is a natural overflow of coming and spending time together, love flowing between us. A passionate relationship - your love for Me and My love for you. So tell them - Come and pour your love on Me and I will go far beyond your expectations and wash away everything that is not of Me and take you to new heights and pour My abundant love on you and speak words of Life over you and saturate you in My presence and glory and the whole earth will see and know that I am indeed God and that you are My bride. Go My child and take this message and tell My children they will not be disappointed. It will be so worth it - I am so worth it."

Sparkling lights (Torquay)
Just wanted to say thanks to Dave and yourself for your visit to Torquay. I needed waking up! I hadnt realised I was just coasting along not causing any trouble to anyone any longer. Someone said recently "If you are not in trouble you're probably out of God's will."
I was awake in the early hours, experiencing the anointing, seeing a bucket being poured out above me. What was about to fall from the bucket was what looked like golden honey or molten gold. I think the glory is about to hit big time Some of the things you spoke about have happened in the last couple of years, but had no understanding! The last time I was in a conference in Toronto I saw in my peripheral vision sparkling lights which went on for about 5 minutesBob Jones had been talking about having our senses expanded - made more sensitive. A few times I have been stuck, unable to move - thought it was some prophetic action.
Your lives have really challenged me. Regards Steve
Below are just a few of the stories from our recent Emerge trip to the middle east. These guys are working in an extremely Islamic culture but God came in His glory and did some crazy stuff. Isaiah 60 says where there is gross darkness there will be visible glory the light overcomes the darkness. Check this outwhy cant God do the same with you?
Radical boldness in Yemen
God has used you (Emerge Team) to radically change my life. I really mean that. My faith level has rocketed and I'm seeing God doing the absolute impossible on a fairly regular basis since you came. I'm being super radically bold at school and am totally sold on prophetic evangelism having watched Justin and John prophesy over my staff at school. I still feel like there's so much more to be had but I'm definitely pursuing it in a greater way than I ever did before. So THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU X INFINITY.
I know that I received a power, an authority, insight and a boldness in my life that Ive not had before. The following day I met with a friend (a baby Christian.) God showed me exactly what her need was (to be set free from a poverty spirit). I prayed for her and she felt (and visibly displayed) Holy Spirit electricity shooting all through her body. She was obviously very touched. The very next morning she got word that someone has put in an offer to purchase her house in the UK. Weve been asking God for this to happen for months as it is the answer to many of her financial needs. Not only this: She got a scholarship for her kid to the International school, a week and a half later. She also got told shes getting a pay rise from September AND her husband has now got a job, all within the same 1 1/2 week time frame.
Halleluliah! Nicola Erskine, Yemen - May 2007
I realised how inhibited I was...
"I came on Thursday night feeling curious as to what God might do, but also anxious and very shy. I felt very conscious of who was in the room and what they might all be thinking. So I shut my eyes and tried to worship, but the guy next to me kept laughing and saying 'yum, yum', which was kind-of distracting. It wasn't until I heard John speak, that I realised I did want to go deeper in. And then as I listened to him, I desperately did. God just awakened this longing in me to be someone who knew him and experienced him. Then I realised how uncomfortable, self-conscious and inhibited I felt, so I asked God to free me from that, free me to be able to be an idiot for him ("like these guys, Lord"!) if need be - and he did. Thursday night was really a time of learning for me. I had previously thought that God came and 'took over', but even though I was lying on the floor, shaking, I still had control and knew that I could stop at any time - I just didn't want to. So it was kind-of weird, as part of me was enjoying God and part of me was analyzing what I was doing. Friday was a little different as I already felt free from inhibition and anxiety and was already hungry. God used that time to assure me of his constant love for me. I feel totally loved and in love. And when Justin prayed for us, he saw fire resting on my head - which reminded me, Nicola, that you had said something very similar in January. He said that I would be part of a group of women who are the foundation of something new happening here. God has a purpose for me! I am blown away. In one weekend I know now that God both loves me and has a purpose for me. Nothing Scripture hadn't already said, of course, but last weekend my heart heard it too.
Another thing that Justin said to us was that we need to keep pressing in. He was urging us to get together with like-minded people and pray, regularly. I would love now to step into thatAnd whatever happens now, I don't want just to settle for ordinariness or for non-experience. God communicated with me last weekend, and I don't want that just to be a flash in the pan; I want it to become a habit, and I want to learn to walk in an ever-increasing intimacy with him. I feel so excited about this now! I keep hoping and praying that this doesn't wear off!"
From a missionary in Yemen - May 2007
God made His heart known to me...
"My experience of the time on Friday was of lightness and joy in God. I felt that the team was here to stir and raise our faith, and they also made me laugh a lot which was brilliant (both in the Spirit and out!!) I was challenged to think and thirst more after the whole idea of heaven invading earth, and when Justin prayed over me at the end, particularly with regards to returning to the UK, I found myself crying and crying, and felt that God was making known his heart to me."

Manifest scent of Jesus!
Hi - just to encourage you guys - Jacqui and I (Judi) visited Antioch church last Sunday - got some wonderful encouragement as always and also some powerful prayer from a guy called Caleb. Then we went to visit Moriah chapel and prayed a bit there. On the way home (we come from Bristol) we stopped off at some motorway services. When we got back in the car we both smelt the most wonderful, almost overpowering fragrance. The brilliant thing was that it lasted all the way back to Bristol. The more we praised God the stronger it got. (Usually a nose can only smell a scent for a few minutes before getting used to it and then not noticing it - this fragrance came in waves - it was great!!!) Hope this will encourage you all - looking forward to your Bristol visit at Lis and Richard's.

Jerking in Boots!
Just want to say thank you for coming to Stoke this last weekendJust what we needed in this area. I had a great time and felt so encouraged by the Lord. Last night I couldn't sleep because the anointing of God was on me and I was jerking all the time. My husband was in Boots Chemist today and he started jerking. So we are really pressing in to seek more of God and his anointing and destiny for our lives Below is a word God gave to my nephew who is 17 years old, he had this a couple of weeks ago, and when I went on to your website and saw the lion and the scripture there about waking up it reminded me of this:- "Wake up you sleeping lions, For the enemy is close at hand, Unclench your talons and your claws, Unsheath your sword, Let loose your arrows, Let your roar ring out over the nation, For the end is near, The Kingdom of God is close at hand"

Dream of terrifying glory!!
When I read your e-mail today that had Cheryls dream in it, I just had to write you guys. I had a dream one night during the Fire Glory Harvest conference we had a few weeks back. I dreamed I was driving one of the speakers to the conference location. We pulled up to the place where the conference was held and the earth under the whole parking lot had been washed away by a rushing river. The location in the dream did not look like the place we were holding the conference. The only thing left was a thin layer of the asphalt and people were gingerly trying to get across much like you would on thin ice on a frozen lake in the winter time. As I sat there in the car I realized there was no way I could drive a car across that thin asphalt. I was thinking this when the ground let go under our vehicle, and our car, the people ahead of us and the whole parking lot sank under the water. I was absolutely terrified.
Normally when I have a dream like this I wake up at this point very scared and have to pray an attack of the enemy off me. I did not wake up. The car sank down to the bottom and as it sank the top separated off the vehicle. I was able to pull the speaker out of the back seat where he was sitting and swim to the surface. I climbed up on the bank and stood there dripping wet. I suddenly realized my laptop and brief case were in the back seat of the car. Before I even thought about it I jumped back in and dove down to the vehicle which was about 20 to 30 feet down and grabbed my laptop case and briefcase and started swimming back up, when it occurred to me that my laptop and all the documents in my briefcase would be totally damaged from the water. Then I also realized that I could see so clearly in this water. It was so clear it was like glass. And even thought it was washing everything away it was not dirty. It was then that an awesome Holy fear came over me. I knew this was God.
I woke up and the Lord spoke to me very clearly that the out pouring river/flood or wave of His presence is going to be so consuming and terrifying that many will think it is the enemy. It will absolutely strike fear in every ones heart. Even those that think they know what "God coming suddenly to His temple" will look like. It will wash away the very foundations of church and the religious system as we and the world knows it. BUT IT WILL BE GOD!!!!!!

Jesus heart for the lost...
Hey I just had to write and tell you guys some of what's been going on with me since ending my fast... I had the most intense encounter with Jesus this past Sunday morning. One of the things Ive been praying about for the last few months and hitting it hard during my fast was asking Jesus to give me His heart of compassion for the lost and hurting. I had recognized a few months back during a heavenly vision/ prophetic journey that I just did not have Jesus heart, his yearning crying heart for his creation, all those who have not yet come to Him. "Oh Jerusalem how I long to gather you" Sunday morning I woke up weeping, sobbing and shaking all over. I don't remember dreaming anything about this; I just woke up in this state of sobbing, weeping and shaking all over. I knew instantly that my prayer was being answered.
Patti [my wife] turned to me sleepily and asked "whats wrong honey?" Between sobs I was able to say "Jesus is giving me his heart" She patted me lovingly and said "thats nice honey" and then rolled back over.
I got up and went downstairs and put on a Joshua Mills CD and proceeded to get totally whacked for the next 3 hours. At times I was on the floor with my face in the carpet crying intensely then it would switch to giddy laughter as Jesus would download to me what He is wanting to do to bring in the harvest. He kept telling me "your vision is too small; your vision is too small"!!! And to "tell everyone that their vision is too small"!!! He also told me that for me and those that move forward with his heart, He will personally back them up with finances to do the stuff and with signs and wonders. He just is looking and waiting for those that will step out in faith with the initiatives of heaven and press for the "more". IT IS TIME! IT IS TIME!

Wild Wandering...
Had a few days in Little haven, glorious weather and a few good encounters and divine appointments, one of which was releasing the word of encouragement to a couple I believe the Lord had shown me in prayer. I met them on Broad haven beach. I released the word to this couple and the guys response was "well, well and God bless you". I took off down the beach, almost a sense of the angelic about this meeting and I turned around to see them 200 metres up the beach still looking after me. I gave a wave and they full arms outstretched did the same. I just knew that I had released something in the Spirit. The word was simply "The Lord says (to the guy) I love you and accept you" and to the woman "The Lord says I have not forgotten you". So easy in some respect and I knew the joy of being faithful in the small things.
I had quite a few encounters like that. As I was walking along the Pembrokeshire coastal path towards St. Davids, I could hardly keep up with my legs. I was running at times, endued with an energy not my own. I ended up walking from Little Haven to Newgale along the coastal path in 3 hours and then road walked towards Solva. I felt it right to cross the road, a bus past me and I kept walking. I sensed the right time to thumb a lift believing that the car to stop would be the first I would see. And it was. The guy ends up taking me to St Davids. I spent around an hour and a half with him and talked on all sorts of faith issues, social issues and turns out he used to be in the film business. Interesting eh! Now a youth social worker. Whats more he is a colleague of a guy who works with me as a voluntary worker in Swansea and he was meeting him the following day. Anyway he ends up taking me all the way back to my apartment. Bonus, but provision of the Lord. Knowing that this is all in the perfect timing of the Lord and He works everything out according to His good pleasure.

More Healings...
I felt I should let you know that I am seeing some amazing healings
A man aged 18 in a coma after being beaten up, hanging onto life by a thread. I anointed his mother with oil in his place and he woke up, is healed and home. God has received all the glory as the mother told everyone that her son had been healed. The son woke up telling everyone he loved them!
Saturday night my daughter rang me weeping for a family of ex-Jehovah witnesses who had several major griefs and problems, some being the 21 year old son had been unconscious for 2 weeks with meningitis and his sister's face had become paralysed. I felt led to ask the Lord to 'raise the dead' regarding this young man and prayed for them on Saturday night. PRAISE GOD - he woke up SATURDAY NIGHT and the girl's face was healed. They are both fine and home.
Jesus is so compassionate.

Not drunk as you suppose...
Recently we have seen a greater release of Gods heavy presence which at this time seems to be starting to impact the people that we are getting around. Two Saturdays ago we walked into StarBucks in Cardiff. All day I was aware of Gods heavy Glory and was quite drunk on Him. While we were there I told Justin that I couldn't just sit there as I knew that He had come for a reason and felt that God wanted to touch people there. I saw 4 people sat at a table and walked over to them in a drunken state. I said "I'm not drunk as you suppose but I'm drunk with God." I said "look at your hands," as they did we saw that all of our hands were covered in gold, "this has come as a sign of Gods love for you, would you like to feel this drunkenness on you?" One boy said yes so he sat in a designated chair and we didn't have to really say anything, he got hit so hard and started really laughing, I asked him what he felt and said "real happiness," I asked him if he wanted his ticket to heaven and he said yes so right there we led him to Jesus.
The other guys were still looking at their hands and were totally blown away by the gold. I gave a simple word to the one girl and then the 2 girls said they wanted Jesus as well, we led them both in a prayer and they were both born again there and then in Bucks. We cheered as we saw 3 guys come to Jesus because He had showed up and we had let Him have His way, for 4 tables along you could feel His presence. I just had an email off the one boy thanking me for his ticket to heaven, WAW.
While we were in the States there were times where we felt so close to seeing an outbreak of God in restaurants and shops. One day as we ate in Ruby Tuesdays Gods presence was so strong that we just sat in awe. Twice an angel flew through the place and an awesome hush came on those eating, it was so powerful. We prayed for the waiter and prophesied words over her which really blessed her as she got hit.
In the airport once again Gods Glory was on us. There were 2 lines of people, us being in one and the other line opposite. I saw a lady opposite who looked so hungry for something. I just started saying to her "you are a real crazy aren't you!" At that point she got hit and was laughing and stumbling around looking drunk as God just smacked her with His Glory. She didn't know what had hit her!
I believe that we will continue to see a massive increase in these outbreaks of Him on the streets and in the marketplace. This will result in us seeing salvations and healings. We can expect God to put us in some pretty crazy situations as carriers of His Glory, positioning us as only He can among the desperate in order for kingdom reality and fruit to come. I have had a reoccurring vision over the past few weeks of blankets of His Glory being let down on regions. Gods looking for those who are willing to become totally possessed and overcome with His Glory to such an extent that individuals and regions get transformed through those who are fully saturated with Him.

Taking Him to the streets...
A group of us went out onto the streets of Swansea last week. After a nervous moment of waiting on God for prophetic words, God came and the words flowed. The first woman we approached God showed us she had a really busy life, looking after lots of people but no one was bothered about her. As we started to speak over her that God cared for her, that he was bothered, you could just see God melting her. Her lip started to shake and you could see her face soften. We got to pray for her that God would reveal Himself and she soaked it all in.
We then went up to a group of skaters. This was a case of jumping in at the deep end. The one guy stood out from the crowd but he was resistant. A few of the others were open though and started to stand around us. We tried to get a prophetic word but nothing came. So we found we had a crowd and just plugged into God hoping something supernatural would happen. We told them about the gold dust that had been coming on people and some of the healings we've seen. They were open so we told them to lift their hands. We started to pray for them and the gold started to appear on a number of their hands in front of their eyes. They went wild! They said we were doing magic! On one guy had gold all the way up from his hands to his shoulder. We got to talk to them about Jesus and gave a dream interpretation to one of them. It was awesome! I'm sure they'll never forget the time Jesus covered them with gold. Think about that!
One thing of real note was a homeless young woman called Jo. As one of the team prayed for her the glory of God just fell on her and she got whacked. It was a blast! She kept saying "Wow! I felt that!" She was so open again. In fact this was the second time this had happened to her. Sometime ago she had a panic attack and a Christian prayed for her and it stopped. She said she felt the same thing then. We got to tell her how pretty she was and how much God loved her. It was such a privalege. We prayed for a job for her. She was deeply touched and so were we. The glory was there on the streets. We were blasted! I was messed up drunk. It felt soooo good. When God comes like this who cares what people think?
There's more stuff we could say, but the main thing is that God is backing His word 100%! The glory is increasing and we know we are going to see major signs and wonders in the days to come! We were amazed the gold came on these young people right before our eyes. God is not being contained by the church walls.
Keep pressing in Wales this is the time for first fruits!

Hands covered in gold...
Got home from the conference on Saturday evening. Started talking to a Christian lady I know really well about the conference and some of the stuff that I'd experienced. She told me that she couldn't really take that on board, all sounded a bit strange. Then she was talking about someone she knew who has arthritis and has been believing for healing for a long time, when she started to cry, I felt passionately too for this person, I put my hands on her and asked God to whack her, she fell down like a dose of salts, and lay on the floor absolutely still, her face went white, she was motionless. Carried on praying with her while she was on the floor, then figured I'd lay on the floor myself, there was such heavy glory in the room. When she eventually got up, I asked her what she had felt, she said that she felt weightiness on her, she couldn't move her arms and legs, but she didn't care! She said her mind went blank of all thoughts and it was lovely! She said she experienced bright light behind her eyes, to which I responded "I think you're going to heaven".
The following morning, I woke up still feeling that weighty glory, didn't want to function really, if I could have laid in God's presence all day, I would have. My husband, me and my son had to travel to London, and all the way up in the car, I just enjoyed being in the glory. At our first service stop, I checked my hands, they were covered in gold dust, my son Josh who is five, his hands were covered in gold and going up his arms too. The dash board of the car and all the material of the seats were plastered in gold. Had lots of experiences with people over the following two days, where God was so close, intense love for people!
We had a lot of guess work to do with travelling directions to London. We had to rely on Jesus to show us the way to my son's delight! He prayed himself that direction angels would show us the way! I haven't talked to him about angels. Then on the way home, he said that an angel called Zachaerus had sat in the back with him, he said that it was the angel's job to look after kids and take car sickness away! Just this morning, he woke up and told me that he'd had a dream that he'd been to heaven and met Jesus.
And so it unfolds.......... more stories to come!

Amazing time in youth...
We had an amazing night in youth last night!!! We tend to get kids come in off the estate behind the church, last night was no different, Carl asked them if they wanted Jesus to speak to them so about 6-7 of them came to the front. A few of us gave prophetic words to them and as I was prophesying over the first kid I noticed gold dust appearing on his neck!! Yesterday morning Carl, Joe myself and a few others were in the office and had a strong smell of honey for most of the morning! I love Jesus and all he does!! Speak soon!!
HAVE A WILD DAY!!

Nicky's visitation of angels...
It began at the 'Closer to the Flame' gathering in Cardiff in March where I experienced an impartation causing an even greater explosion of what He wants to do and how He can use ordinary people like me.
In my own personal life this has caused an incredible visitation of angels. At first there were many physical manifestations - I began shaking violently as God began a work of refinement. Fears that had bound and held me over many years were instantly broken and I began to walk in a new freedom. This has led me to a deeper yielding of my life to Him and I found the physical manifestations increase and an almost loosing control of myself. What I began to realize was that as God was removing the inhibitions, self dignity and pride so He could begin to get a hold of me and draw me to the places He wants me to be in and thus the cycle continues. I can only comply, more of you, more of your ways, much less of me.......
Perhaps one of the most significant occasions of the demonstration of his power came when I was in Nice for a short break with my husband and such a gathering of angels showed up late at night in our hotel room. This was to be a show down of a particular curse that the Lord was to reveal. All dealt with simply - but again the effects on my own personal freedom significant.
The transfer of this power has also been demonstrated in other areas. For example - I meet together with a group of Christian Head Teachers to pray for our local education authority. Recently we found ourselves praying for the cabinet that is in place to govern over our schools. In particular we felt led to pray against specific forces that were preventing justice and that these would be broken. Two weeks later the leader of the cabinet resigned. This we knew was a significant and powerful move of God and a demonstration of how he wants to use us to move in His authority as he lays it on our hearts and gives us remit to act upon the things he shows us.
The angels I have discovered for me are equipping and continue to be the providers of God's word - I simply have to act in obedience as they bring their impartation, revelation and light into the situations that I am moving in. Their assignments are many and I am learning to align myself to simple obedience and the things he has asked me to do. Even more powerful has been the presence of eagles that I have seen appear across the land and again God has been showing me the supernatural realm that these helpers are being positioned to carry out His purposes.
This for me is a time of consolidation, equipping and learning things in aspects of the spirit realm that I have never known but am insatiably hungry for more, craving to be more like my father and seriously beginning to believe that nothing is impossible. There is such a positioning in these days, as well as a time of waiting on the Father..... Knowing when to hold back and when to act in his timing.
I feel overwhelmed in these days by His all consuming love that burns and purifies and is uncontainable. There is a sense of Gods bursting out an uncontrollable passion and desire to follow him at any cost. More Lord, more.We are longing and waiting to see your impartation in the lives of those many many hearts that you want to come and touch with your overwhelming river of life. Life that brings victory, causes an expansion of faith and downloads of an incredible Saviour who has prepared the way, walked the walk and gone the whole hog for all of us.
God I am so humbled. Please keep coming to Wales

Taking it to the streets...
Just sharing two encounters that show (i) that God wants to use us and (ii) that people are hungry.
A small group of people in my church were doing one of our regular outreach/evangelism sessions outside our church. On the way there whilst in a traffic jam I asked God for some personal messages. One of these was that I would meet a lady with grey hair and God wanted her to know that he heard her prayers. I wrote the messages down.
The first person I spoke to was a lady with grey hair. Traumatic events in her life had lead to her becoming disillusioned with the church although she still prayed. I showed the lady what Id written to encourage her, and she started to cry. It opened the door for us to pray for her and ask God to show his love.
Another lady walked past quickly saying she had no time to talk as she was on her way to work. However, she then turned around and came back, asking me if we did spiritualism in our church. She was thinking about going to a spiritualist church. I explained to her as best I could the difference between true spirituality and the fake stuff. She was so hungry, and said she envied people like us with our faith. She let me quickly pray for her. I prayed that God would give her a sign (how I wish I had given her a sign, this is what we need to walk in).
This is break-out time. I still dont feel ready but as we step out of our comfort zones and are prepared to make mistakes God will anoint us to speak his word and demonstrate his power to people. God is willing, and people are hungry, so the only thing were waiting for is US.
Lets do it Lord!

Filled in the Pub...
"...went to Merthyr for a funeral yesterday. It was AWESOME! Just to relate one incident, I had taken annointing oil with me. Prayed for two people separately, the second being a young man named David who was sat in the pub garden on his own. He had come out of hospital for an eating disorder etc. As I prayed, annointing him with oil, the Holy Spirit spoke out a prophesy for him that before the year was out, he would be giving testimony of the miracles of God in his life, on platforms and stages. David was filled with the Holy Spirit there and then in the pub garden!
My cousin who attended the funeral phoned me and I had the amazing thanks be to God priviledge of leading her in the sinner's prayer over the phone. I know she is the first. More are coming in. Surely the kingdom of God is come..."
Email from Susan Glenndinning (07.05.06)
Gold dust and fire...
My sister just rang (lives in Pontypool!). She said, Claire Im shaking Im really worried, whats happening. At this point I was getting worried myself and confused. She said, the email you sent me, I just read it. She asked what is all this Gold Dust stuff? What does it mean? I asked why? She then told me how she had been ironing and just felt that she had to read the email I had sent her.
As she was holding the mouse her hand began to tingle, and get a bit hot she looked on her hand to see what was up and there was Silver Dust on her hands. She said she then went to get a cloth to wipe it off. She thought the children had been messing with some glitter or something but there was nothing on the tissue after wiping the computer mouse. Then her whole body began to get hot and was shaking. She was saying on the phone my knees are shaking and I cant stop them, whats happening to me!!!!!!!!!
I just told her God had showed up and had given her a visitation and she was blessed and to thank him in her own way when she got off the phone!
She gave her heart to Jesus the same day as me 28th May 1995 but not followed anything up. She is not walking with Christ but has been asking more and more lately and I have been hoping and praying she would have a tangible experience of God.
Isnt it amazing how gracious God is We dont need to qualify or be professional just desperate and sincerely seeking and curious about who He REALLY is.
You know when I sent the email about the Gold Dust I was thinking Now I must be careful who I send this too and make sure they are savedHowever, I sent it to my dad and my brother too and my curious sister.. I had a rush of power and anointing when I pressed send that assured me I had done the right thing. Now for the rest of my family!!!!!!!!! (Brother in Sebastopol and Mum and Dad in Usk)
Praise God, He is SOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!

Faith is rising...
It was so good to have you and the 'team' call in and see us. Well I can tell you something major is going on in my life. From the beginning of the year the Lord told me to seek His face. I have been spending all the available time I can in His presence. Stuff is happening on a deep personal level. I have always had a hunger to know Jesus, but this has been increasing dramatically. Faith is rising and I am crying out for the manifestation of His character, and power. To encourage you the prophetic words you have been highlighting have been so inspirational. Many would agree that we sense this is the time for us in Wales. The call to 'tarry' was so brill. We have tried everything without His power before, but no longer am I interested in formulae, and techniques. The Lord wants a bride walking in total obedience, dead to the world, culture, and man. There is a cost, but Praise God He is providing the motivation and the ability.
Blessings, Denis Moon, BCC Bridgend 13th April 2006
Changing lifestyle...
During the "Deeper" prayer nights God touched me powerfully, spiritually and physically. I have never experienced any manifestations before apart from speaking in tongues, but on these nights it was like God was taking control of my body to the point where I felt I couldnt take any more. Im normally very quiet and reserved, but I was told that on one night I was the loudest person in the room. I couldnt have shut my mouth if Id tried.
Through a prophetic word I realised that God was re-aligning my body soul and spirit. This meant Spirit first, soul (including my mind) second and body last not the other way round, as it had been before.
The fruit of that was that in the next week I had a tremendous sense of urgency to deal with everything in my life that had not been under the control of the spirit, and every time I heard the word "surrender" in a song I got intensely excited. I stopped watching my TV (I put it in the cupboard). I was spending every available moment in Gods presence. I spoke to my line manager to reduce my working hours (Im still not sure why I have done this). I gave God permission to take my savings off me, and I did a fast, just to make sure that God knew I really meant it. This is a total turnaround of lifestyle that I could never have anticipated. God is in control now.
I havent seen any angels or gold-dust (yet), but my faith levels are soaring higher than ever before, and I want to encourage you to align yourself for Gods power to come upon you. I know we will not be disappointed. God keeps saying "Be strong and very courageous".

A Story from Cardiff Bay...
Just a small story about something that happened to Sarah my daughter and myself this week (Tuesday) which I think is a sign of the spiritual temperature going up in Cardiff and Wales.
I was walking in the square down near the bay area where Sarah lives and I had my two grandsons with me. As we walked around I was praying to God to touch the people who live in the square. As we were preparing to drive off and putting the boys in the car, a neighbour came running across to us. Her small child had been rushed to hospital during the night with convulsions and she was beside herself with worry and fear.
She said that Sarah had prayed for her older daughter for the same thing a year before, although Sarah had forgotten this.. She was very distressed and we asked her if we could pray again and she allowed us to lay hands on her in the street and go for it in prayer. We prayed for complete healing for her small child and that God would give her His peace and take away the fear.
Even as we spoke out the words the fear seemed to lift off her and she became full of peace. It is a very hard place spiritually but Sarah and I both felt that something had lifted in the Area. It is only a short distance from where the conference was held and we both felt that what took place at Closer to the Flame has had a spiritual impact on the area.

Glory of God in the workplace...
Hiya all! Just taking a minute to share with you what happened today. Went along to the hospital to meet with a lady who I've been counselling. We met up, she was totally devastated, just been robbed again from something she was really looking forward to, she's had sickness from a very young age. While we were talking, felt the presence of the Lord and started to prophesy into her life, it was so naturally supernatural! Turns out she is a Christian, she was there in the hospital weeping, praying for more of the presence of God, praying for me - not your average counselling session I can tell you! This is more like it! When she left, looked at my hands, gold and red dust all over my fingers -the Glory of God in the hospital! This is what I've been living for, it's here, the glory is breaking into our every day lives! I'm having a whale of a time! Got home, was making my bed small pieces of silver over my bed! I want more, I feel more hungry than ever!
Love you and appreciate you lots,

Heavy Glory in the home...
Hey guys....check that out....I want the angels too....
The past few days I have had lots of gold dust and other colours appearing on my hands off and on. This morning as I was doing hair and thinking about the GOSPEL (as you do) I looked at my hands and they were covered with silver??
It is awesome I am so loved.....last night I was showing Rhys (my husband) as it was still on my hands although more faint and when we looked at Rhys' hands he had a bigger flake on his....wow....GLORY...heavy glory come
Was telling a colleague of mine in SWANSEA College just now and I wouldn't be surprised if she found some on hers soon....unsaved. There is a FIRE burning in Swansea College.
Joanne Gravell (Swansea 30th March 2006)
Things are heating up here...
Must say that things are heating up a fair bit here. We went to church the other day to speak to 30 leaders, from the moment we got in there a wind started being felt by people blowing around the one half of the room , then the Glory started to fall and we could hardly preach under the noise. I laid hands on one lady and immediately an angel smacked her flying onto the floor where she got pulled about the place as it hit her a physical wave of Glory was felt shooting through the room which hit a woman off her chair backwards, she landed behind her chair on her head with her feet in the air and stayed there for 30 seconds, it was wild. By the end of the meet angels were grabbing guys, gold came on peoples hands and many were whacked, we are now going to the main church to share Sunday....
We have never been in a meeting like it over here, we also ministered in a house group and the fire was wild, we just went for it and people got whacked, someone walked in and said that there was smoke in the room.Please pray for us as we try to walk all this through.
Many many blessings

Healing and Holy Spirit Shocks...
My excited anticipation about the conference wasnt disappointed. I enjoyed it from the minute we began to the last minute on Tuesday and have been savouring it ever since, plus enjoying the updates on your web site. During one of the worship sessions I received a miraculous healing. I've been seeing a chiropractor for some time and he is able to treat the pain in my back and neck which goes for a few days but soon returns. I've been saying to my husband that I'm concerned that I'm becoming dependent on the chiro to stay pain free. That's not only expensive it's unbiblical. Recently I've had trouble with my neck and shoulders and have seen the chiro a few times. My neck was bad leading up to the conference. Then, when we were in worship I felt my neck click and it felt like when the chiro clicks it back into place. My thought was 'that felt like a healing click'. And since then my neck has been so much better. It still doesnt like it when I spend too long on the computer but it is definitely much improved and I would definitely say that it was a divine touch I had during the conference worship. Yay
Also, since the conference I have been experiencing electric shocks in the pit of my stomach. They come randomly, day or night, and especially when I am praying or anticipate praying for someone. Unfortunately, since returning to normal life since the conference the shocks have abated in frequency but I do still get them and am really excited by what I believe is a manifestation of Gods glory and I look forward to seeing the fruit.

Wild Fire travels from Wales to Kenya...
[The is an extract of an email from a couple of missionaries from Kenya who came over to the Closer to the Flame conference]
We had a 2-day meeting in Nakuru. It was awesome! Yes I am definitely carrying Welsh fire & we are seeing breakouts where ever we have gone. The time in the conference and with you guys has really cleared away much of the "fog" and now the "spiritual weatherman" is changing the climate here!... We are so-o-o-o thankful for the time we were with you in Wales.
Love & Miss you. Jessie and Diane (Africa 27th March 2006)
Stories...
Awesome things are taking place. One person that has not cried for over 10 years got whacked and started crying. Last night we cast demons out of a guy the enemy had sent to the meeting. He was totally transformed. My daughter came into the room this morning and said "The angel has gone now". She must have had a visit in the night. My little boy woke up and said "Jesus in my heart". My little girl saw fire in the kitchen today. We saw her following it around the room. A deep glory is coming on us. I'm getting hit today by waves of His glory. Its hard to move or even think. Dave's daughter dreamt last night the angels were singing in the school canteen and the kids were getting whacked. She woke up making the angel call and kept calling until she lost her voice. Godfrey has now written the 'yum yum' song for his next album and a song with 'bang' in it. They were so impacted! Martin Scott said he has seen the baby and is well contented! We've been up into the early hours of the morning every night this week. One night we were up the whole night. The fire keeps coming. It is so strong! We are getting seriously whacked. The photos from the conference and meetings have lots of heavenly lights on them. One of them is red like fire. Heaven is near. Where this is going God only knows but I believe we will see before long an outbreak of glory.

Change of climate...
On the Tuesday evening, I went along to the prayer meeting at our church for the first time in ages. There is definately a change in the climate, atmosphere. The meeting was completely different to anything I have experienced at my church, a new open-ness, people interceding with cries and groans, people calling for the glory to manifest, a real expectation for signs, wonders and miracles. I believe that ... you will get reports from people all over that something has broken, the new has come.
Sarah Pozzi, Neath (16/03/06)
Fire on the Severn Bridge...
A couple of the people from Bournemouth (and there is an old Pentecostal Apostolic link to Wales) wrote me this:
"Sarah and I were up praying until 4 a.m. and Jesus was there in the room with us. (We stayed in Wales and I've just arrived back in Bournemouth.) He was showing us things and we were interceding and things were changing and moving and breaking as we prayed!!
I saw angels. I saw angels!!!
And here is something so much more amazing and sweet....
So today, we're still tripping out on God. We're in the car in Wales and we get on that really long bridge that takes you over the Severn. We both start smelling something. And Sarah says 'what is that' - and I couldn't identify it. And it gets stronger and stronger and there was this heavy air and all of a sudden as I start feeling fire burning in my stomach Sarah starts to burn and says, 'it smells like daffodils!' and when she said that the presence of Jesus hit us so strong and this fragrance was coming in heavier waves and the air was heavy with God's presence and we could hardly comprehend it. And it stayed with us as we crossed over into England and I don't know how she kept driving the car. God was everywhere. Every molecule in that car was drenched with Jesus... He smelled like flowers. He's so beautiful.
I don't think they had any idea of the Daffodil and Wales. Here is what the web site http://www.data-wales.co.uk/l_d.htm had to say:
It (the Daffodil) has become the more favoured emblem of late, however, since some people find that it makes a more attractive buttonhole on St. David's day . Daffodils and new-born lambs herald the summer in Wales. "
So it is here.
Martin Scott (15th March 2006)
Visions of revival glory...
I could see a blue sky with thin, whispy clouds. Lightning was striking the ground in several places around. I seemed to be travelling upwards through a column of cloud.
When I reached the top I began to see what I can only describe as a movie, a film. I saw the road and pavement. It had been raining, the road was wet and the path shone in the sunlight. There was no one around. The street was bare. The houses were terraced, typical Welsh terraces. All the people were inside their homes praying, I knew that.
I was mobile and travelled through the streets. I went under a railway bridge. It was quite long. As I came out the other side there were people lying and kneeling on the pavement. All were seeking God. A row of cars bumper to bumper had been 'hit' by the glory of God. They were not moving. People in the cars were 'whacked' by God, hardly able to move. Snow fell.
Then I saw a castle up on a hillside. The front of the castle was covered in gold dust. Through the arches someone was worshipping. the castle disappeared and became a hill fort, then a wooded hilly landscape. I seemed to be going backwards in time. (I was aware of people moving around me, but I heard the Lord say, 'stay where you are and keep focussed').
I saw farmland. Hillsides with terraces. The land was covered with gold dust. To the left of this a circular shaped building was struck by lightning and went up in flames. Although there was lightning in the sky, there were no dark clouds. I began travelling along a country road. (At this point I was asked to get up and move away).
I believe that this was like a news reel of what is going to happen, soon.

Marriage between England & Wales...
What an amazing time we had at Cardiff, I was certainly very blessed.
Thank you for calling me forward to pray and repent for England's part in the 'malicious accusers' curse put upon Wales. It had been planted in my heart several months ago that as a nation we needed to repent for all the ill we had caused Wales but I knew He wanted me to see something specific and I didn't know what it was, although I sensed it was to do with a King. I drafted an email to you at the time and I felt the Lord wanted me to ask you to stand with me....I did know you were born in Scotland... but knew I didn't have the freedom to send it yet.
When Sharon talked about King Edward calling the Welsh the malicious accursed I almost fell through the floor and felt such a "Wack!" in my spirit. I knew this was the answer. I have prayed and prayed about this for months now and even tried to plan how to bring it about - even thinking I should invite some English and Welsh people to meet on the first severn crossing and dip the English flag to the Welsh one and then take communion together. I even thought about throwing salt into the water to bring healing to the nations.... But God knew the day and the timing.
The devil did his best to try and stop me speaking and in fact almost chocked me to death. I could hardly get my breath and was coughing and chocking as if I was being strangled to shut me up. I pray enough was said to break the curse before I found I could not draw breath to pray more.
The Welsh reaction was awesome and very humbling.
They said they received the apology and wanted now to pour out blessing on England and so much more. All the hugs and wonderful words and prayers and blessings that were poured out over me were simply wonderful. I received them for me and I received them for England.I wait to see the change take place now.
At the end of the evening on Saturday when Sharon shared about Samson and the harlot and then finishing by prophesying how Wales had prostituted herself when in fact Wales was married to England, it was simply over whelming.
I have wept buckets since. One because I am amazed that the Lord would want to involve me in something like this when there must be far more influential, annointed people to call on and two because at the end when the majority of us were prayed for, I was 'zapped' by the Spirit and as I lay there it seemed as if I was completely engulfed in flames. It seemed as if the whole of Wales was on fire as far as I could 'see'. I just know I have carried something new and fresh back to Bristol with me and pray now for the opportunity to share it with others.
With Christian love, Pam (15/03/06)
